  • Patent number: 4676374
    Abstract: A rigid holder for three and one-half inch hard case floppy diskettes. The holder contains 12 diskettes in an array on each side, with each array having two columns of three rows of diskette receptacles. The diskettes are received in the receptacles and the floors of the receptacles in each column are disposed in substantially parallel spaced apart planes to position the entry wall of one receptacle above the base wall of the next adjacent receptacle in the column. The floors serve as common divider floors for corresponding receptacles in both arrays. Sidewalls are also provided to prevent lateral movement of the diskette from the receptacle. A resilient tab holds the diskette in the receptacle. The receptacles are rigidly connected together so that the holder maintains the diskettes in a rigid substantially planar page orientation.
