- Fig. 21 is a cover in plan view.
- the housing has a lower or base part 1, which is designed to receive the object 4, and a cover 30, which is articulated on the base part 1. Both the base part 1 and the cover 30 are made of a material containing fibers, in particular cellulose fibers.
- the base part 1 has a base 2 and a section 5, which is located on the upper side 54 of the base 2 and which is designed and designed to receive the disk-shaped object 4. Section 5 is also referred to below as base 5.
- the base 2 has an at least essentially planar base body 3, the outline of which is square.
- the outline of this base body 3 can be square or rectangular.
- the base body 3 of the base 2 is rectangular and it has side edges 121, 122, 123 and 124.
- the length of the shorter side edges 121 and 123 of the base base body 3 is at least as long as that
- Diameter of the disk-shaped object 4 In the case of a square base body 3, the length of all sides of the base body 3 would have to be at least as large as the diameter of the disk-shaped object. i
- the base 5 is fastened on the upper or inner side 54 of the base body 3 of the base 2 and it has a base body 8.
- This base body 8 is made from a single piece of material in the case shown. This piece of material can be thin-walled.
- a plastic which can be used can be used to form the base body 8 edit or deform.
- it can be a plastic that can be deformed when heated or heated, or that can be injected or poured into a mold.
- Such a base body 8 can be glued or welded onto the top of the base 2.
- the base 5 is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 alone and enlarged.
- FIG. 3 shows the base 5 in a top view and
- FIG. 4 shows the base 5 from FIG. 3 in a section IV-IV.
- the base body 8 has a base plate 10 which can support the object 4.
- Base base body 8 has essentially the shape of the letter X.
- the X-shaped base base body 8 thus has four legs 11, 12, 13 and 14.
- the outer contour of the X-shaped base base body 8 is rectangular, so that this X shape has two pairs of sides SK and SL has, the sides of each pair are of equal length.
- the sides SK or longitudinal edges 19, which extend between the legs 12 and 13 or 11 and 14, are shorter than the sides SL or. Longitudinal edges 9, which extend between the legs 11 and 12 or 13 and 14.
- the longitudinal edges 9 and 19 of the base body 8, which extend between the end parts of the legs 11 to 14 and which represent the contours of the base 5, are arc-shaped, namely at a distance from the center M of the base 5. This means that in the crossing area 15 the X-leg 11 to 14 more material available, which ensures the mechanical stability or strength of the base body 8.
- the length of the shorter sides SK of the base 5 is smaller than the diameter of the object 4 with a circular contour, so that two opposite edge portions of the object 4 resting on or in the base 5 protrude from the base 5.
- the perpendicular to it standing edge portions of the object 4 lie within the outer contour of the base 5 and they are held in place by the base 5.
- a side wall 16 or 17 hangs down from the underside of the respective leg 11 to 14, these side walls 16 and 17 being at a right angle to the large area of the base plate 10 ,
- the respective side wall 16 or 17 forms a projection on the underside of the leg 11 to 14 and these projections 16 and 17 can also be referred to as the feet of the base 5. Because of the type of representation of the base 5 mentioned, the feet 16 and 17 are only shown in FIG. 4 of the X-legs 11 and 12 shown in view. It goes without saying that the remaining two X-legs 13 and 14 are also provided with feet 16 and 17.
- the respective foot 16 or 17 has the shape of a strip of material or a cuboid, which extends practically parallel to the shorter sides SK of the base body 8 and which is integral with the X-legs 11 to 14.
- the width of these material strips 16 and 17 is considerably smaller than the width of the respective X-leg 11 to 14.
- the length of the material strip 16 and 17 corresponds to the width of the respective X-leg 11 to 14.
- the feet 16 and 17 are opposed the inside of the base 5 directed towards and on their underside, the feet 16 and 17 rest on the top of the base 2, where they can be fastened in the manner mentioned above.
- the lower large surface 18 of the base body 8 is at a distance from the top of the housing base 2.
- the size of this distance is given by the height of the feet 16 and 17. Since the base body 8 of the base 5 is made of a plastic, the height of the feet 16 and 17 can easily be selected within wide limits. Consequently, the height of the cavity 6 under the base plate 10 can also be chosen so large that a relatively thick printed product 7, such as a relatively thick booklet, can be accommodated in the cavity 6 under the base body 8. As described below, several flat objects can even be accommodated in the cavity 6.
- the base 5 is provided with a pressure tongue 60.
- the pressure tongue 60 is designed as a U-shaped cutout from the material of the mounting plate 10 and this material cutout 60 is pulled out flat out of the plane of the mounting plate 10.
- the material cutout 60 is laterally delimited by legs 61 and 62 of the U-shape which run in a practically straight line and at the free end by a connecting section 63 which connects the ends of the U-legs 61 and 62 facing away from the mounting plate 10. This connecting section 63 is in the illustrated case.
- the pressure tongue 60 is connected to the mounting plate 10 by means of a transition section 64, which is located where the ends of the U-legs 61 and 62 facing the mounting plate 10 are located.
- the end portion of the pressing tongue 60 comprising the connecting section 63 is bent upward, so that the insert can easily get under the pressing tongue 60 even if it is inserted into the cavity 6 of the base 5 against the direction of the pressing tongue 60.
- the base 5 has, inter alia, claws 21, 22, 23 and 24.
- Each of these claws 21 to 24 is assigned to the end section of one of the X-legs 11 to 14 and is located on the top of the respective X-leg 11 to 14.
- the respective claw 21 to 24 has a gripping surface 25 which is circular Edge of the disc-shaped object 4 can rest directly. The object 4 is clamped between two mutually opposite gripping surfaces 25 and is therefore held in place in the base 5.
- the gripping surface 25 has the shape of a circular section.
- the diameter of the circle to which the section 25 belongs is equal to or at least corresponds to the diameter of the object 4 with a circular contour.
- the gripping surface 25 has a hollow profile, the length or height of the
- Gripping surface 25 in this transverse direction is greater than the thickness of the object 4. Consequently, the object 4 is held securely in place by the claws 21 to 24.
- the circular object 4 should lie on the X-shaped base base body 8 such that the center of this object 4 coincides with the center M of the X legs 11 to 14.
- the gripping surfaces 25 on the claws 21 to 24 must be arranged at the appropriate distances from the center M of the base body 8 on the X-legs 11 to 14.
- the claws 21 to 24 are arranged on the X-legs 11 to 14 so that their gripping surfaces 25 lie on a circle, the diameter of which corresponds to the diameter of the object 4.
- Two of the claws 21 and 23, which lie diagonally opposite one another, are designed as fixed claws. This means that the base body of the respective fixed claw 21 or 23 as a mere elevation 26 on the top of the loading striking X-leg 11 or 13 is executed.
- the side surface of the elevation 26 facing the center M of the base body 8 is designed as the mentioned gripping surface 25.
- the base base body 8 has a relatively high rigidity. This is also because this base base body 8 is attached to the bottom 2 of the housing 1. In order to be able to release the circular plate 4 from the holder by means of the claws 21 to 24 without mechanical stressing thereof, the remaining two claws 22 and 24 are designed in a special way.
- FIG. 5 shows an enlarged and top view of the end part of the second X leg 12.
- FIG. 6 shows this end part of the second leg 12 in a vertical section VI-VI.
- This second claw 22 is designed as a resilient claw
- a slot 50 is made in the material of the base body 66 of the claw 22 from above.
- the depth of this slot 50 is smaller than the thickness of the basic body 66 of this claw 22.
- the bottom of the slot 50 lies approximately at the level of the surface of the mounting plate 10.
- the slot 50 has a substantially U-shaped cross section, so that it is two parallel to one another and legs or walls 51 and 52 running to the claw gripping surface 25 and a bridge 53 connecting the lower ends of the U-legs 51 and 52.
- the material of the claw 22 defined by this slot 50 constitutes a resilient projection 49.
- the end region 27 of the second claw 22 facing away from the center M is provided with a laterally or radially projecting projection 28.
- This projection 28 forms a lateral overhang over the claw foot 17.
- the vertically running contour of the projection 28 has an essentially triangular shape in the case shown in FIG. 6.
- the projection 28 is in one piece with the remaining material of the claw base body 66 via its vertically extending cathete.
- the side of the projection cross section corresponding to the second or horizontally running cathete is formed by a continuation of the surface 261 of the claw base body 66. At the end of this extension surface 261 there is an edge 74.
- the hypotenuse 29 of the projection cross section connects this lateral end edge 74 of the projection 28 to the outer surface of the claw foot 17.
- the front part of the third X leg 13 is also provided with such a projection 28. The purpose of these protrusions 28 will be explained in more detail below.
- the diagonally opposite claw 24, ie the claw 24 located at the bottom left, is designed as a claw that can be actuated by hand.
- This claw 24 has been selected as actuable because the thumb of the left hand holding the opened housing is just on End of this X-leg 14 comes to lie practically by itself. In terms of the convenience of operating this housing, it is therefore of particular advantage if this claw 24, which is located at the bottom left, is designed to be actuatable.
- FIG. 7 shows an enlarged and top view of the end section of the fourth X-leg 14.
- FIG. 8 shows this end section of the leg 14 in a vertical section Vlll-Vlll.
- a slot 55 is made in the base body 66 of the fourth claw 24. In a horizontal plane, this slot 55 has a substantially U-shaped cross section.
- This slot 55 comprises two mutually parallel and vertically extending legs 56 and 57 (FIG. 7) and a section 58 which connects the ends of the U-legs 56 and 57 which are located in the interior of the claw base body 66.
- the orifices facing the center point M. the parallel slot legs 56 and 57 lie in the gripping surface 25 of the claw 24.
- the connecting slot section 58 does not run parallel to the gripping surface 25 but rather parallel to the end edge 48 of this fourth X-leg 14.
- the slot 55 extends vertically through the entire thickness of the material of this X-leg 14, so that the slot 55 separates a material section 59 from the remaining part of the base body 66.
- This material section 59 is connected to the base plate 10 of the base 8 via a relatively thin bridge 47. Since this bridge 47 is thin and since there is no material underneath the material section 59 separated by the slot 55, this material section 59 can be pivoted relatively deep and without great effort when printing from above.
- the gripping surface 25 pivots on this handle 59 away from the center M of the base 8, so that the distance of its upper edge 46 from the center M increases. As a result, the 46 under this claw edge lying edge section of the object 4 released. After the pusher 59 has been pressed down, the object 4 can be removed from the base 5 without any mechanical stress.
- the cover 30 of the housing comprises side walls 31, 32 and 33 and a cover wall 34 (FIG. 1).
- the side walls 31, 32 and 33 protrude from three of the edges 36, 37 and 38 of the top wall 34 practically at right angles, in such a way that they are directed towards the base part 1 when the housing is closed.
- the cover 30 is connected or hinged to the base part 1 via its fourth edge 39.
- the outer contour of the cover 30 or its walls 31, 32 and 33 and its connecting edge 39 lies above or within the outer contour of the base part 1.
- the shape of the base part 1 thus determines the shape of the cover 30.
- the respective side wall 31 or 32 or 33 of the cover 30 is designed as a hollow profile.
- the cross section of this hollow profile has the shape of a right-angled triangle (Fig. 2 and 11).
- the first cathetus of this triangle is formed by that edge portion 36 or 37 or 38 of the top wall 34 from which the relevant side wall 31 or 32 or 33 protrudes or falls.
- the second catheter of the triangular cross section is formed by an outer or vertical section 40 of the side wall 31 or 32 or 33, which is practically perpendicular to the top wall 34.
- the hypotenuse of the triangular cross section is formed by an inner section 41 of the side wall 31 or 32 or 33, which extends obliquely with respect to the top wall 34 and which extends between the top wall 34 and the free edge 42 of the side wall 31 or 32 or 33 ,
- Such spatially designed side walls 31 to 33 effectively stiffen the cover 30 made of a relatively thin material.
- the cover 30 also comprises an inner wall 43 which is connected via one of its transverse edges to the transverse wall 32 of the cover 30, specifically to the free edge of the inclined wall 41 of this transverse wall 32.
- This inner wall 43 not only covers the central region of the inside of the Cover wall 34 but also the inside of the fastening tabs 44 of the side walls 31 and 33.
- the inner wall 43 is fixed to the top wall 34 and to the fastening tabs 44, for example with the aid of an adhesive.
- the inner wall 43 additionally stiffens the cover 30, which is made from a relatively thin material.
- the object 4 lies within the height of the side walls 31 and 33 of the cover 30 when the housing is closed and when the end edges 42 of the cover walls 31 to 33 rest on edge tabs 611 of the housing base 2.
- Means for connecting the cover 30 to the base part 1 are provided, which are located in that edge region 39 of the cover 30 which has no side wall.
- These means comprise a strip of material 45 which is located between the top wall 34 of the cover 30 and the base plate 3 of the base 2 or the base part 1.
- This material strip 45 extends along the connecting edge 39 of the cover 30 and along the transverse edge 22 of the base part 1.
- the width of this material strip 45 is equal to or corresponds to the height of the transverse wall of the base lying here and located above the said transverse edge 22 of the base part 5th
- connection means further comprise bending lines 46 and 47, which extend along the longitudinal edges of the material strip 45.
- the material strip 45 is connected to the one lying here via the first of these bending lines 46 Cross edge 22 of the base plate 3 of the base part 1 connected.
- the material strip 45 is connected to the connecting edge 39 of the top wall 34 of the lid 30 via the second of the bending lines 47.
- the longitudinal edges of the material strip 45 are thus in one piece with the interposition of the bending lines 46 and 47 with the top wall 34 of the lid 30 and with the base plate 3 of the base part 1. This means that the cover 30 can pivot relative to the base part 1 about the two bending lines 46 and 47 when the housing is opened or closed.
- the means for closing the container should not only be as easy to use as possible, but should also be easy to manufacture.
- the base 5 is arranged in FIG. 1 in the area of the lower half of the base 1 of an upright housing.
- the end parts of the first and fourth X-legs 11 and 14 are close to the connecting strip 45, the end parts of the second and third X-legs 12 and 13 are close to the outer edge 611 of the base 1 of the housing.
- the end parts of the second and third X-legs 12 and 13 are each provided with one of the projections 28 already described.
- the respective projection 28 forms one half of the closure means mentioned for the container.
- the second half of the closing means is located on the cover 30.
- the second half of the closing means comprises an opening 71 or 72 in that side wall 32 of the cover 30, which is opposite the connecting strip 45 already described.
- the first opening 71 in the side wall 32 of the cover 30 is designed and designed to cooperate with the end part of the second X-leg 12. Starting from the lower edge 123 of the housing, it is located on the same Height like the second X-leg 12.
- the second opening 72 is designed and designed to cooperate with the end part of the third X-leg 13 and is located at the same height as this leg 13.
- the side wall 32 of the cover 30 opposite the connecting strip 45 has a triangular cross section (FIG. 11).
- a U-shaped cut is made in the flat material of the hypotenuse 41 of this triangular structure 32.
- the partial cuts 76 corresponding to the legs of the U-shape run transversely to the longitudinal direction of the hypothenus wall 41.
- the partial cut 77 connecting the U-legs runs parallel to the longitudinal direction of the hypotenuse 41 , where the hypotenuse 41 merges into its extension 411, which rests on the inside of the top wall 34.
- the length of said cross-section cuts 76 is measured from the position of the longitudinal section cut 77. This length is important for the function of the container closure.
- the longitudinal cuts 76 are shorter than half the transverse dimension of the hypothenic wall 41 in the illustrated case. In the illustrated case, the longitudinal cuts 76 end approximately in the middle of the transverse dimension of the hypothenic wall 41.
- the above-mentioned partial cuts 76 and 77 delimit a flap 75 made of the material of the hypotenuse 41.
- An edge 78 passes through the partial cut ends lying in the hypotenuse wall 41, via which the flap 75 is connected to the remaining part of the material of the hypotenuse wall 41.
- the flap 75 can be pivoted about this edge 78 out of the plane of the hypotenuse 41. If the tab 75 is pivoted into the interior of the hollow side wall 32 of the cover 30, then the opening 71 or 72 already mentioned arises in the cover wall 32, which can cooperate with the projection 28 on one of the X-legs.
- the edge 78 represents a stop for the projection 28.
- Figures 14 and 15 show the interaction of the two halves of the closure means.
- the front edge 42 of the cover 30 first approaches the end edge 74 on the projection 28 of the holder 5.
- the cover wall 32 is still narrow.
- the outside of the hypothenus wall 41 comes to rest on the protrusion edge 74.
- the protrusion edge 74 presses the region of the hypothenus wall 41 underneath into the inside of this cover side wall 32 until the projection edge 74 passes the wall edge 78.
- the projection 29 pushes into the opening 71 or 72 and the wall edge 78 slides further along the undercut edge 29 of the projection 28. This automatically completes the closing process and at the same time keeps the housing closed.
- the cover 30 is pulled in the usual manner, for example in the region of the opposite side wall 32.
- the wall edge 78 in the cover opening 71 or 72 slides along the undercut projection surface 29 of the claw 22 or 23 high again.
- the cover 30 can pivot freely and the housing is open. Since the material of the hypothenus wall 41 of the cover 30 is made of a flat, resilient material, for example cardboard, the wall edge 78 can pass the projection 28 several times without the cover side wall 32 being damaged. Out For this reason, the housing can be opened and closed as often as desired, without the functionality of the components of the housing being adversely affected.
- the undercut surface 29 of the projection 28 on the claw 22 shown in FIG. 6 is flat.
- This lower surface 29 can easily ensure that the closed housing does not open.
- the flat lower surface 29 cannot guarantee that the cover 30 will fit snugly on the base 1.
- This problem does not exist with the embodiment of the lower surface 291, which is shown in FIG. 12.
- this lower surface 291 has the shape of the section of an arc. Regardless of where the wall edge 78 on the cover 30 reaches during this closing process along this arcuate closing surface 291, the wall edge 78 becomes deeper through this arcuate closing surface 291, i.e. against the base 1 of the housing and continuously tightened or pressed.
- FIG. 9 shows a top view of a second embodiment of the present housing.
- This version essentially corresponds to the housing versions described so far.
- the main difference is that in the present housing according to FIG. 9, all claws 21 are designed as rigid claws. To do this, however, it is necessary that the base body 8 of the base 5 is sufficiently bendable so that the object 4 is brought out of engagement with the gripping surfaces 25 of the claws 21 on the X-legs 11 to 14 by bending the X-legs 11 to 14 can be.
- This flexibility of the X-legs 11 to 14 is achieved, for example, by the X-legs 11 to 14 being made of a thin and well-resilient material.
- the support surface 10 of the base 5 of this housing according to FIG. 9 is provided with a centering cam 80 which has a circular contour in plan view.
- This centering cam 80 can come to rest in the central opening of a CD disk 4.
- the CD plate 4 is centered relative to the base 5, among other things.
- the centering cam 80 is designed as shown in FIG. 13.
- This centering cam 80 has a first or lower section 81, which adjoins the base plate 10 of the base 5 directly.
- This cam section 81 can be integral with the base plate 10.
- the centering cam 80 has a second or upper section 81, which adjoins the top end of the first cam section 81, or is integral therewith.
- This second cam portion 82 is in the form of a portion of a ball.
- This combination of the sections 81 and 82 enables the opening in the CD disc 4 to lead itself onto the centering cam 80 because of the shape of the second or upper section 82. After the plate 4 is seated on the cam 80, it is held in place by the lower cylindrical first cam portion 81.
- FIG. 10 shows a top view of yet another embodiment of the present housing.
- this housing there is also a second base 75 which has only two of the X-legs 81 and 82 described above.
- the end regions of these X legs 81 and 82 are pivotally connected to the end region of the inner X legs 11 and 14 of the first base 5, for example with the aid of hinges, in particular film hinges 83 and 84.
- the edges 83 and 84 of the internal X-legs 11 and 14 of the first base 5 practically lie on the first bending line 46 of the connecting strip 46 of the housing.
- the opposite half 85 of the second base 75 can either be provided with the outer X-legs 12 and 13, as is the case with the first base 5, or it can, as shown in FIG. 10, be made of a full, plate-shaped material
- FIG. 14 shows a side view of the double housing from FIG. 10 in the closed position, the lower side wall 38 of the cover 30 facing the viewer being removed in order to be able to represent the components of the housing lying inside the housing 30.
- FIG. 15 shows an enlarged detail from FIG. 14.
- the basic body of the respective outer claw 22 or 23 of the first base 5 is significantly higher than the CD plate 4. From the top of this claw base body, a step-shaped recess 87 is made in this claw base body, which flanks 88 and 89 are practically perpendicular to each other
- the thickness of the claw 22 or 23 with the recess 87 is the same as the thickness of the other claws. Only the vertical flank 99 of this recess 87 projects together with the projection 28.
- the height of this vertical flank 89 is practically the same as the thickness of one of the claws 22 and 23, so that one of the claws 21 on the outside of the second base 75 can be accommodated in the L-shaped recess 87 of the first base 5.
- the end face of the claw 21 of the second base 75 is provided with a projection 90, which can rest in a recess 91 in the vertically running L-flank 88 of the first base 5.
- the housing 1 is designed as shown in FIG. 16.
- the closed housing is shown in a top view, with openings in the housing cover 30 where the outer claws 22 and 23 are located are located.
- the distances 01, 02, 03 and 04 of the openings 71 and 72 in the cover side wall 32 must be above all, for example, from the lower edge 123 of the housing with the distances 01, 02, 03 and 04 of the outer claws 22 and 23 also coincide from the lower edge 123 of the housing, so that the projections 28 fit exactly into the openings 71 and 72.
- an L-shaped recess 93 and 94 can be made in the sides of the projections 28 on the claws 22 and 23.
- the respective recess 93 or 94 comprises two flanks 95 and 96 which are at right angles to one another.
- the parallel L-flanks 95 of the recesses 93 and 94 of the same projection 28 exactly determine the width of the projection 28.
- the flanks 96 of the L-recesses 93 and 94 lying in a row determine the depth of the projections 93 and 94. In this case the position and the length of the respective opening 71 and 72 must be matched to the position and the length of the projection 28 thus restricted.
- 17 to 19 show a further embodiment of the present housing.
- 17 shows this housing in a top view.
- 18 shows this housing in a first side view and
- FIG. 19 shows the housing in a second side view.
- the base part 1 of the housing comprises side walls 104, 105 and 106. These side walls 104, 105 and 106 are assigned to three of the free edges 121, 123 and 124 of the base plate 2 in such a way that they protrude from the base plate 2 practically at right angles and against the cover 30 are directed when the housing is closed.
- the bottom 2 is connected or hinged to the cover 30 via its fourth edge 122, as has already been described.
- the outer contour of the base part 2 together with its side walls 104, 105 and 106 and its connecting edge 46 lies within the outer contour of the cover 30.
- the respective side wall 104 or 105 or 106 of the base 2 is designed as a hollow profile.
- the cross section of this hollow profile has the shape of a right-angled triangle (Fig. 19).
- the first cathetus 110 of the respective triangle 104 or 105 or 106 is formed by those edge parts of the base body 3 of the base 2 which comprise the free side edges 121 or 124 or 123.
- the second catheter 111 of the triangular cross section 104 or 105 or 106 is formed by an outer section of the side wall 104 or 105 or 106, which is practically at right angles to the base plate 3.
- the hypotenuse 112 of the triangular cross section 104 or 105 or 106 is formed by an inner section of the side wall 104 or 105 or 106 which extends obliquely inwards with respect to the floor plate 3 and which extends between the floor denplatte 3 and the free edge 113 of the side wall 104 or 105 or 106 extends.
- Such spatially designed side walls 104, 105 and 106 effectively stiffen the base plate 3 made of a relatively thin material.
- the side walls 31, 32 and 33 of the cover 30 have a height H.
- the side walls 104, 105 and 106 of the base part 1 have a height K (FIG. 18).
- the connecting strip 45 has a width of D (FIG. 17).
- the width D of the connecting strip 45 corresponds to the sum of the heights H and K, so that the free edges 42 of the side walls 31, 32 and 33 of the cover 30 overlap the free edges 113 of the side walls 104, 105 and 106 of the base part 1 the greatest possible length of the same can rest on one another, as is shown schematically in FIG. 20.
- 20 shows the housing in a side view, specifically in the closed state.
- a cavity 108 (FIG. 18) with a height "A".
- the width of this cavity 108 is limited by the distance between the feet 16 and 17 of the base 8.
- the length of this cavity 108 is given by the height or length of the housing.
- the dimensions of this cavity 108 allow several objects such as additional plates 4 or printed matter to be accommodated in this cavity.
- 17 shows three sleeves 100, 101 and 102 with CD disks 4, which are inserted into the cavity 108 of the housing.
- the sleeves 100, 101 and 102 are inserted flush with the side wall 106 with an offset. The offset is determined by the length of the sleeves 100, 101 and 102.
- a tongue 107 is present on the inside of the lower, shorter side wall 106 of the base part 1.
- This tongue 107 is cut out of the material of that wall 112 which corresponds to the hypotenuse of the triangular cross section of the side wall 106. The cut is made so that the tongue 107 is connected to the material of this wall 106 in the region of the free edge 113 of this wall 106 and can be pivoted about this edge 113.
- the tongue 107 prevents the objects 4 or the sleeves 100, 101 and 102 from slipping out when the housing is held open in an almost vertical position: in this case, the objects strike the tongue 107 which has been folded out and this tongue thus serves as a retaining device ,
- the sleeves 100, 101 and 102 can be designed differently. 17 and 19 show a possible embodiment of the sleeves 100, 101 and 102. All sleeves 100, 101 and 102 are of the same width, but they are of different heights, so that their upper parts can be arranged in a stepped manner in the cavity 108. Such a cover 101 is shown in a top view in FIG. 21.
- the sleeve 101 is made of printable material.
- a viewing window 114 in the front 115 of the casing allows a view of the object packed therein, in particular a CD disk 4. So that the disk 4 in the casing 101 does not slip out of the area of the viewing window 114, it is provided with a suitable and fixation means 113, known per se, held at a predetermined height within the shell 101. These fixations 113 can be implemented, for example, in such a way that the front wall and the rear wall of the casing 101 are glued or welded to one another at the desired location.
- At least one further centering cam 97 is provided. seen (Fig. 17).
- This centering cam 97 is fastened on the inner surface of the inner wall 43 of the cover 30, for example glued or welded on, so that a plate 4 without a cover can be attached directly to the cover 30.
