  • Patent number: 4436201
    Abstract: A disc cartridge for containing therein an information recording disc, such as a video disc, has a detachable lid which is engaged with an opening of said cartridge. The lid has a pair of engaging means which are integrally formed with the lid body by a synthetic resin. Each of the engaging means comprises a curved lock arm having a projection to be received in a recess made in a cartridge body, and is connected to the end of the lid body at its one end. A plurality of leaf spring elements constitute a zigzag-shaped spring member which is interposed between one end of the lid body and the lock arm. Some of the leaf spring elements have thin and thick portions so that stress applied thereto will be dispersed. In one embodiment, the dimension of the thick portions is selected so that the thick portion abuts against an adjacent leaf spring when the zigzag-shaped spring member is compressed.

  • Patent number: 4327831
    Abstract: A disk record container comprises first and second plates respectively having circular recesses for receiving a phonograph or video disk therebetween. An annular recess is made on each of the bottom of the circular recess of each plate so that the sound groove portion on each side of a disk does not abut on the first and second plates. Additional recesses are provided around the circular recess of each of the first and second plates for making it easy to take out and put a disk without touching the sound groove portion. The first and second plates are connected by a transparent film which has a bendable center band portion so that the first and second plates are plied up when the container is closed. A plurality of like plates may be added between the first and second plates for containing more disks.
