Media storage disk case

Abstract

A media disk storage case comprising a wallet having a base panel and a cover panel hingeably engaged to the base panel to be movable thereto from a closed condition wherein the panels are overlying to an open condition wherein the panels are outward lying of each other. The base panel has a mounting member which includes a rosette. The mounting member is engaged to a first major surfaces of the base panel by at least one mechanical fastening means secured to the mounting member and to the one of the first or second panels, so that when in the overlying condition the media storage disk on the rosette is captured between the base panel and the cover panel and the planes of the first major surfaces of the base panel and the cover panel are substantially parallel to the plane of the media storage disk.

1 . A media storage disk case comprising

 (a) said media storage disk is captured between said base panel and said cover panel and  
 (b) the planes of said first major surface of said base panel and said cover panel are substantially parallel to the plane of said media storage disk.  
   
     
     
         2 . A media storage disk case as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said mechanical fastening means extends through said base panel and compressively holds said base panel against said media disk mounting member.  
     
     
         3 . A media storage disk case as claimed in claims  1  or  2  wherein said mechanical fastening means includes a shank portion which extends (a) through an aperture of said base panel and (b) between a fastening region where it is engaged to said mounting member and a head portion which is located on the other side of said base panel to said first major surface, said head portion being trapped to prevent it from being retracted to the side of said first major surface.  
     
     
         4 . A media storage disk case as claimed in any one of  claims 1  to  3  wherein said mechanical fastening means is integral with said mounting member.  
     
     
         5 . A media storage disk case as claimed in any one of  claims 1  to  4  wherein said mechanical fastening means is a separate member of but engaged to said mounting member.  
     
     
         6 . A media storage disk case as claimed in any one of  claims 3  to  5  wherein said mounting member includes an aperture within which said fastening region of said mechanical fastening means is located.  
     
     
         7 . A media storage disk case as claimed in any one of  claims 1  to  6  wherein said mechanical fastening means is engaged to said mounting member in a press fitted relationship.  
     
     
         8 . A media storage disk case as claimed in any one of  claims 1  to  6  wherein said mechanical fastening means is engaged to said mounting member in a threaded relationship.  
     
     
         9 . A media storage disk case as claimed in any one of  claims 3  to  6  wherein said fastening region of said fastening means engaged to said mounting member includes barbed features positioned to prevent the extraction of said mechanical fastening means from said aperture of said mounting member.  
     
     
         10 . A media storage disk case as claimed in any one of  claims 1  to  9  wherein said fastening means is of a stronger material than said mounting member.  
     
     
         11 . A media storage disk case as claimed in any one of  claims 3  to  10  wherein said head portion is trapped by and against said other major surface of said base panel.  
     
     
         12 . A media storage disk case as claimed in any one of  claims 3  to  11  wherein said head portion is of a larger size than the size of said aperture.  
     
     
         13 . A media storage disk case as claimed in any one of  claims 3  to  12  wherein said head portion is of a diameter larger than the diameter of said shank.  
     
     
         14 . A media storage disk case as claimed in any one of  claims 3  to  10  wherein said head portion is engaged with a second mounting member which is positioned against the other major surface of said base panel, said base panel being captured between said first mentioned and said second mounting members.  
     
     
         15 . A media storage disk case as claimed in  claim 14  wherein said head portion is engaged to said second mounting member in a push fit manner with an aperture of said second mounting member.  
     
     
         16 . A media storage disk case as claimed in claims  14  or  15  wherein said head portion is engaged to said second mounting member in a treaded manner with an aperture of said second mounting member.  
     
     
         17 . A media storage disk case as claimed in any one of  claims 14  to  16  wherein said head portion extends through an aperture of said second mounting member and is engaged onto and against a surface of said second mounting member the normal of which projects away from the normal of said first mentioned major surface of said base panel.  
     
     
         18 . A media storage disk case as claimed in any one of  claims 14  to  17  wherein said wallet includes a second cover panel defining a cover hingeably engaged to move relative to said base panel to be movable thereto from a closed condition wherein said second cover panel at least in part substantially overlies said base panel to an open condition wherein said second cover panel is outward lying of said base panel.  
     
     
         19 . A media storage disk case as claimed in  claim 18  wherein said second cover panel is hingeably engaged to said base panel.  
     
     
         20 . A media storage disk case as claimed in claims  18  or  19  wherein said second cover panel is hingeably engaged to said first mentioned cover panel.
