Abstract: A holster (100) for receiving a pager (220) having an protrusion (225) comprises a housing (105) having an interior surface (205) and an exterior surface (210), the interior surface (205) forming a cavity (215) for receiving the pager (220). A flexible arm (110) is affixed to the housing (105) and moves between a first position wherein the flexible arm (110) engages the pager protrusion (225) when the pager (220) is within the cavity (215) and a second position wherein the flexible arm (110) is deflected by the pager protrusion (225) as the pager (220) is inserted into or removed from the cavity (215). A belt clip (230) mounted to the housing (105) secures the holster (100) to an article. The belt clip (230) selectably contacts the flexible arm (110) and exerts a pressure thereto which increases the force needed to deflect the flexible arm (110) when the pager ( 220) is inserted into or removed from the cavity (215).

Abstract: A bag pack and a holder comprises a layered stack of flexible thermo-plastic bags having a folded over stiff header with oppositely projecting ears at its ends.

A second embodiment includes flaps on a holder entered between front and rear portions of a header for retention of the bag pack.

Abstract: A compact disc tray incorporates a flat planar surface approximating the size of a compact disc for nesting a compact disc. A central rosette molded to the flat planar surface engages the inner center hole of the CD. The rosette has engagement arms molded to and extending upward from the tray for engaging the center hole, and further extending radially inward towards a molded connection with a center button. The molded connection between the center button and inner ends of the engagement arms provides a living hinge and may be accomplished through reduced thickness in the molded material. Pushing of the center button imparts a downward motion on the inner ends of the engagement arms, which thereby angles the upwardly extending portions of the engagement arms away from the engagement with the center hole of the CD. This releases the CD from the rosette.
