Abstract: A container (10) for holding at least one article (32, 132) includes a sleeve (12, 112), a top (16, 116) located at one end of the sleeve (12, 112), and a base (14, 114, 214) located at an opposite end of the sleeve (12, 112). The container (10) includes a locking mechanism (54, 56, 154, 156, 158, 254, 256, 258) that provides means for releasably securing the sleeve (12, 112) to the base (14, 114, 214). A support structure (28, 128, 228) is positioned on the base (14, 114, 214) and includes a recess (44, 144, 244) for receiving an article (32, 132) and an arm (46, 246) that is proximate to the recess (44, 144, 244) and configured to contact the article (32, 132).

Abstract: A book-like stacked array having a spine and a cover has a stacked array of planar-like articles having a spine and a cover having a cover spine and a back cover portion hingedly adjoining said cover spine along a first hinge line and attached to an outermost one of said planar-like articles beyond a second hinge line that is offset from said first hinge line such that when said stacked array is placed in open condition tearing away of the back cover portion from said outermost one of said planar-like articles is mitigated.
