Definitions

  • a book-style container comprises a storage portion of moldablc material, having circular recesses therein for receiving and closely surrounding rolls of film or tape, and a cover portion formed from sheet material secured to said storage portion and foldable over said storage portion to form a book configuration.
  • the cover portion may have indices printed each of which is positioned in relation to a particular recess to clearly identify the roll normally to be contained in that recess.
  • the present invention relates to a book-style container for storing rolls of web material.
  • the invention has particular utility for storing rolls or reels of processed motion picture film.
  • a mounting post as disclosed by Rollie suffers from disadvantages similar to those mentioned above. Additionally, it would be difficult to mount a coreless film roll on a mounting post because of the lack of rigidity of the central opening in the roll.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an improved book-style container for conveniently storing rolls or reels of web material such as processed motion picture film.
  • a bookstyle container comprises a foldable cover and support member formed from a single sheet of low-cost material, such as cardboard, which may have imprinted on the outer surfaces thereof an attractive library decor.
  • Parts formed, for example, by molding from sheets of plastic material are attached to sections of the cover are provided with circular recesses for storing film rolls or reels in such a manner as to protect and prevent clockspringing of film thereon.
  • the cover member is adapted to be folded to a book configuration, in much the same manner as a book, to enclose the formed parts and the reels. In the open position of the cover, the reels or rolls contained therein are readily accessible.
  • inside surfaces of the cover member may have printed thereon an indexing system comprising indicia positioned, relative to the storage recesses, in a manner to readily identify the film normally contained in each recess.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a book-style container, showing the container in an open position to present reels positioned therein, and also showing an indexing system on the cover flaps thereof;
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the book-style container of FIG. 1, showing the container with its cover flaps in a partially closed position;
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the book-style container of FIG. 1, showing the container in its closed position;
  • FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line 4-4 of FIG. 1, showing a reel positioned in the container.
  • FIG. 5 is a fragmentary sectional view of the bookstyle container of FIG. 1, showing a tape fastening means for retaining the container in its closed position.
  • each body portion 12 and 14 may be "formed, for example by vacuum molding, from an imperforate sheet of plastic stock into a rectangular-shaped block having top surfaces 16, bottom surfaces 18 (FIG. 4), and sides 20 and 22.
  • a plurality of film storage chambers in this case 6 which may take the form of circular, peripherally-walled compartments or recesses 24 of a depth approximately equal to the axial width of the reels 26 to be contained therein.
  • Each recess 24 has a thumb slide or cleft 27 permitting ready access to an edge of the contained reels for removal thereof.
  • Cleft 27 also provides a convenient recessed location for positioning the end 28 of a rubber band or other film retaining means.
  • a film retaining means is normally unnecessary because each circular recess 24 wholly surrounds the reel periphery in close proximity thereto and thereby prevents clockspringing of film contained in the recess.
  • the wall of the circular recess and the reel flanges will cooperate to substantially enclose the film and prevent dust or other foreign matter from entering the recess and later damaging the film when it is projected.
  • the cover portion 11 which may be composed of paperboard or other appropriate material, is provided with inner surfaces 30 and outer surfaces 32.
  • the cover portion 11 is foldable at crease lines a, b, c, d, e, and f to define front and back sections or panels 42 and 44, respectively, a hinge or binder section or panel 46, and flaps 48 and 50.
  • Body portions 12 and 14 may be secured by a suitable adhesive 13 to inner surfaces 30 of the front and back panels 42 and 44 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, so that all of the reels will at once be presented for random selection when the container is in an open position.
  • retaining means comprising tape fasteners 52 and 54 may be provided on body portions 12 and 14, respectively to pass through openings 56 and 58 in flaps 48 and 50, respectively.
  • One part of the tape fasteners, 52 comprises a myraid of finely woven nylon monofilaments formed into permanent hooks, while the other part, 54, comprises soft nylon loops.
  • outer cover and binder panels may be provided with an appropriate library decor, including labeling means 60 and 62, for titles or other identifying markings.
  • inner surfaces 30 of flaps 48 and 50 may be provided with indicia, such as printing or labels positioned relative to the recesses in the body portion such that each indicum clearly identifies a reel normally to be contained in a particular recess.
  • the cover portion 11 may be cut to an elongated rectangular shape in a simple straight-lined cutting operation made possible by the straight-edged rectangular shape of the cover portion.
  • Each of the body parts 12 and 14, on the other hand, may be formed from a single imporfate sheet of moldable material using known molding techniques, and may be attached to the cover portion by an adhesive 13 on the bottom surface of each circular recess.
