Patent number: 7708139Abstract: An enclosure for securing a disc having a central aperture includes a base and a pivotable cover. A two part disc securing rosette has a first part on the base including at least two upstanding, circularly spaced apart segments with arcuate outer peripheral surfaces dimensioned for engaging the central aperture of a disc and a second part including at least two elongate, upstanding ribs extending radially from a position on the cover which is centered on the segments on the base, the number of ribs on the cover corresponding to the number of segments on the base, the ribs being positioned and dimensioned such that, when the enclosure is closed, the ribs on the cover enter the first part radially inwardly of the segments with the ribs contacting the radially inside surface of the corresponding arcuate segments for bracing the arcuate segments against breakage.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2005Date of Patent: May 4, 2010Assignee: MeadWestvaco CorporationInventors: Kenny Freitag, Daniel Ed Cornwell, James Philippe

Patent number: 7607536Abstract: A package for housing two discs including a cover forming an elongated spine panel with first and second opposing panels extending therefrom such that the opposing panels selectively rotate between open and closed positions. First and second partial trays attach to the first and second opposing panels, respectively, and are laterally spaced so that when closed, the thickness of the package is approximately equal to that of one of the trays. Each partial tray has a planar surface forming a periphery and a recess, a rosette near a first side of the tray for engaging a central aperture to retain a disc within the recess and a spacing rim upstanding from the planar surface. The spacing rim is U-shaped so that in the closed position, the spacing rims do not overlap.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2007Date of Patent: October 27, 2009Assignee: MeadWestvaco CorporationInventors: George F. Rufo, James Philippe

Patent number: 4275943Abstract: A container for holding a cassette that includes a rectangular casing into which a cassette can be directly inserted and stored and a frame-like bottomless slide which is positioned in the casing and selectively operated for moving the cassette into and out of the casing. An hourglass-type spring is positioned between the slide and casing to urge the slide to an upwardly extended cassette-exposing position. A selectively releasable locking mechanism for retaining the slide in a cassette-storing position includes a finger pressure contact indentation formed in the front wall of the slide and double-latch locking projections formed on the front of the slide and casing at opposite sides of the finger pressure contact indentation. Hublock projections formed on the slide engage the hub-openings of a stored cassette only when the slide is in its cassette-storing position.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 1980Date of Patent: June 30, 1981Assignee: Shape Inc.Inventors: Anthony Gelardi, Paul Gelardi, Stephen Swinburne, Michael Janiszewski, Robert MacLeod, Jr., James Philippe, David Philippe
