  • Patent number: 7313936
    Abstract: A disc box includes a base, a securing member and a key member. The base has a lid and a body, which has a lateral side connected to that of the lid. The lid and the body include latching portions opposite to each other and key-reception portions adjacent to the respective latching portions. The latching portions are formed at an internal edge of the lid and the body respectively. The securing member is received in the latching portions for locking the lid and the body together so that the disc box is burglarproof. The key member is arranged inside the key-reception portions in order to reject the securing member that is clamped in the respective latching portion in advance. When the key member is drawn out, the securing member can be removed out at the same time.

  • Publication number: 20070193898
    Abstract: An optical disc accommodating case has a bottom cover, an upper lid and a connecting member. The connecting member has two lateral edges opposed to each other. The bottom cover and the upper lid are respectively and pivotally assembled onto the two lateral edges of the connecting member. The bottom cover, the upper lid and the connecting member are formed separately and then assembled together. As such, the optical disc accommodating case cannot be twisted or deformed, thereby ensuring that the position of a retaining base of the bottom cover is precise, and that the optical disc is capable of being installed on the bottom cover smoothly. Therefore, the efficiency of the optical disc automatic packing process is improved, causing the cost of the optical disc automatic packing process to be lowered.

  • Publication number: 20070045137
    Abstract: A disk retaining structure, disposed inside a disk box and adapted to hold a disk, comprises a flat base disposed on a central part of the disk box; a pair of finger strips integrally formed at a central part of the flat base and each of the finger strips can be bent relative to the flat base. Two retaining pieces are respectively disposed adjacent to two upper edges of two outside surfaces of the finger strips and each of them has a flange at a bottom edge of a free end thereof. Two supporting pieces are respectively disposed adjacent to two lower edges of the outside surfaces of the finger strips. A buckling structure is provided between the two finger strips. When the finger strips are pinched, a disk can be conveniently placed horizontally on the retaining structure.

  • Patent number: 6250461
    Abstract: A retaining center for a DVD/VCD/CD box includes a tray (10) with a plurality of inclined first segments (211), a plurality of inclined second segments (212) disposed equally among the first segments (211), a column (23) formed in a center of the tray (10) and extending up through the first and second segments (211,212). The column (23) has a resilient top which when compressed can receive a central hole of a DVD/VCD/CD, and two lips (2322) to securely retain the DVD/VCD/CD on the column (23). The first segments (211) each have a distal edge with a common height above a common height of distal edges of the second segments (212) until the first segments (211) are resiliently deformed downward. The height of the distal edges of the first segments (211) is below the lips (2322).
