Definitions

  • Packaging may include paper or paperboard boxes, injection molded cases, and combinations thereof.
  • One example of such a package is US Patent 5,788,068 , which discloses a case with internal features for securely holding optical disk media on a specialized hub.
  • Injection molded cases are widely used for CDs, DVDs, and like media, particularly when a secure package is desired that is somewhat difficult to open, thus helping prevent instore theft.
  • the cases also provide a storage container for the optical media after its purchase.
  • FIG. 1 Another packaging structure is a "clamshell,” a relatively hard, thin, usually transparent plastic formed as a box around a valuable article, such as a software box, video game cartridge, digital memory device, and other products such as high-value electronic items.
  • Clamshell packaging may be customized for each product.
  • Such a packaging structure is known from e.g. WO9315294A which discloses an apparatus for stock protection of articles comprising a frame adapted to receive and retain an article, said frame having first and second parts moveable with respect to one another and fastening means to fasten the first and second parts in retaining relationship with the article.
  • the periphery of a clamshell package is often sealed and the material is usually durable enough that a sharp tool is needed to open, or at least initiate opening, of the clamshell.
  • a clamshell package is often substantially larger than the product it encloses. After opening, clamshell packages are usually disposed of, and the significant amount of waste plastic is seen as an environmental disadvantage. It would be useful to have an alternative to a clamshell package, which provides product security but which need not be disposable and which may require less material, or would be more readily adapted for various sizes and types of product items.
  • This invention provides for a packaging a variety of different seized or shaped items in a single size package.
  • the package for example may hold one or more optical disks, a game cartridge, a memory card or memory stick, an electronic music player, etc.
  • the outer case of the package is provided in a single size, or a small number of sizes.
  • the outer case may be reusable in the store or by the customer after purchase. It provides security, durability, ease of handling, and space for graphics. Items may be held in small trays or nesting structures that fit within the outer case.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a perspective view including a locking device that protrudes into the outer case
  • FIG. 6 illustrates a perspective view including an inner tray for containing discs in an embodiment according to the invention
  • FIG. 7 illustrates a perspective view including an inner tray for containing a memory device in an embodiment according to the invention
  • FIG. 8 illustrates a perspective view of an outer case having other internal devices for holding various contents in an embodiment according to the invention
  • FIG. 9 illustrates examples of holding devices
  • FIG. 11 illustrates a perspective view of the outer case of FIG. 10 , with the latch open;
  • FIG. 12 illustrates a perspective inside view of an outer case having a cover window, with an item inside to be displayed in the window.
  • FIG. 13 illustrates a perspective outside view of the outer case of FIG. 12 . with an item displayed through the window.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of a typical case 100
  • the case is preferably molded from a plastic material, such as an injection-molded material.
  • the case has a back 110, top edge 114, bottom edge 116, opening side edge 118, hinge side edge (or spine) 120, hinge area 122, and front 112.
  • the front is hinged to allow it to close over the remainder of the case 100.
  • the case defines an interior volume for receiving items as further described below.
  • the case design may have many variations, including having the edges formed on the front of the case (instead of on the back 110 as shown), or having the edges shared between front and back. Also the spine design may vary, and there may be more than one hinge line in the hinge area.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a perspective view of a case 200 utilizing a locking device 210, such as the Red Tag ® locking device disclosed in published US Application 20040123311A1 .
  • the case has a slot 202 along one edge for receiving a portion 212 of the locking device 210.
  • the front of the case also has another slot 204 for receiving portion 214 of the locking device 210.
  • the locking device 210 has one or more means to retain it securely in the case 200.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a perspective view, in an unassembled state, of a case 300 and a locking device (parts 350 and 360) that surrounds a periphery of case 300 in an embodiment according to the invention.
  • Case 300 is shown closed, and the back 310 and front 312 are indicated.
  • the front 312 is attached to the case 300 along hinged edge 322.
  • Dovetail grooves 330 may be provided along one or both sides, that is, parallel to hinged edge 322, and /or along the opposite side. In another embodiment (not shown) the dovetail grooves may be provided on the top edge 314 and bottom edge 316, sand suitable locking devices (discussed below) provided to fit thereon.
  • a locking device comprising a first locking collar 350 and second locking collar 360. These locking collars slide around the closed case 300.
  • First locking collar 350 may include dovetail protrusions 356 that fit into the dovetail grooves 330 in the case 300.
  • First locking collar 350 may also include ledges 352 and 354 that overlap the periphery of case 300.
  • First locking collar 350 may include a locking device such as ratchet area 370 proximate to locking collar 375.
  • FIG.4 illustrates a perspective view of case 300 with locking collars 350 and 360 partially assembled around the case.
  • the dovetail protrusions 356 and 366 on the locking collars slide into the dovetail grooves 330 on case 300. If the locking collars 350, 360 are slid further together they will enclose case 300 around its entire perimeter. Ratchet areas 370 and 380 will become engaged to hold locking collars 350, 360 securely together, similar for example to the action of a "wire tie" device.
  • Ledges 352, 354, 362, 364 will cover at least portions of the perimeter of case 300, on both front and back sides, preventing the case from being opened.
  • dovetail grooves 330 and protrusions 356, 366 will prevent collars 350, 360 from being flexed outward away from the case, as might be attempted in an effort toward unauthorized entry into the case.
  • dovetail grooves 330 and protrusions 356, 366 may be used to secure locking collars 350, 360 onto case 300.
  • the dovetail protrusions may be discontinuous, or may be replaced by one or more buttons that would be secured within grooves 330.
  • the dovetail geometry could be a different shape such as an "L” or "T” shape, that could be slidably engaged in one direction (along the edge of case 300) without allowing movement perpendicular to the sliding direction.
  • the ledges 352, 354, 362, 364 could be discontinuous, as long as they provide sufficient strength to prevent opening case 300 or removing it from the locking collars.
  • ratchet devices 370,380 may be used to secure locking collars 350, 360 together.
  • a pin and tab, a barbed pin, an adhesive connection may be used instead of the ratchet.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates a perspective view of a case 500 have internal devices for holding various contents, as exemplified by pins 510.
  • Pins 510 are shown as short round posts, but could take other shapes as well.
  • the pins are shown as simple right cylinders, but could be tapered, toothed, barbed, having varying diameter or cross section, or provided in any other shape suitable for helping to engage and hold items or devices within case 500.
  • the number and location of pins 510 may be chosen to suit the intended contents of case 500.
  • Preferably 510 pins are arrayed to permit use with a large variety of contents.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates a perspective view where case 500 holds tray 600 for containing discs such as DVDs or CDs.
  • tray 600 may be provided with an area 610 to receive a disc, which may be held on center hub 620.
  • Tray 600 may include one or more holes 630 to receive pins 510, or the tray may be sized or shaped to fit within tray 500 without use of pins 510.
  • the pins 510 either alone or in association with holes 630, hold tray 600 so that it does not move within case 500.
  • the pins 510 may engage the holes 630, or other points such as the periphery of tray 600, by a snap action, a sliding action, a friction fit, or other similar engagements.
  • FIG. 7 illustrates a perspective view where case 500 holds a tray or carrier 700 for containing a memory device such as a computer DRAW board 710, which may be attached to carrier 700 by suitable means such as blister wrap or a snap-open cover.
  • Carrier 700 may include one or more holes 730 for receiving pins 510.
  • One or more pins such as 512 may abut the periphery of carrier 700 to help hold it in place.
  • FIGs. 6 and 7 each show a single tray 600 or carrier 700 used within case 500, but the case may be used to accommodate more than one tray or carrier, potentially having different sizes or shapes.
  • the carrier 700 seen in FIG. 7 could also fit in the same case that holds tray 600 shown in FIG. 6 .
  • FIG. 8 shows another embodiment of the invention, wherein a holding device 810 such as a clip is molded into case 800.
  • a holding device 810 such as a clip is molded into case 800.
  • One or more of clip 810 may be molded into the case 800, at any desired location. The location, shape, and size of the clip 810 may be determined for whatever items are to be held by the clip 810.
  • the clip 810 may be provided for example through the user of appropriate mold inserts during the production of the case 800, as by injection molding.
  • the clip 810 in use may retain a small package 820 such as a blister wrapped item 830, for example a memory stick or card. Small package 820 may also be a small 'clamshell' type package.
