Abstract: A storage device for plate-shaped data carriers, said storage device being box-shaped and comprising a first and a second cover part, pivotally connected, wherein fixing means are provided for fixing the data carrier within the storage device, the storage device being injection molded from plastic, in particular polypropylene or the like, and being closable, and protective means being integrally injection molded in the storage device during manufacture.

Abstract: An assembly of at least one plate-shaped data carrier and a box-shaped storage device, wherein the storage device comprises two pivotally connected closing parts, which, in a closing position, together determine a receiving space for the or each data carrier and can be brought into an opened position for positioning or removing the or each data carrier, wherein resilient clamping projections are included for clampingly securing the or each plate-shaped data carrier, which can together be accommodated within the storage device, wherein the resilient clamping projections extend on either side of a groove, wherein the groove is adapted to receive at least a portion of a circumferential edge of the data carrier, and wherein the clamping projections are adapted to engage either side of the part of the data carrier that is received in the groove, wherein the data carrier is withdrawable from between the clamping projections through a force in a direction approximately parallel to the plane of the data carrier.
