Media storage disc case with security device

Abstract

A media storage disc box comprising a base and a lid hingingly engaged to the base to be movable between an open condition to provide access to a media storage disc supported at its central aperture by a push release rosette fixture engaged to or part of the base within the box and a closed condition to provide a substantial enclosure of the media storage disc. The disc is supported intermediate and parallel to the base and the lid when in the closed condition. A security device is provided in juxtaposition to the media storage disc and the lid, the security device including a means to maintain a separation between the lid and the rosette member in order to prevent the rosette being actuated by the deflection of the lid towards the base member.

         8 . A box as claimed in  claim 7  wherein said security device extends across said media storage disc and at a region or regions thereof not overlying said media storage disc includes a plurality of said location features.  
     
     
         9 . A box as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said security device extends over and beyond the entire perimeter of said media storage disc.  
     
     
         10 . A box as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said security device is a cover member.  
     
     
         11 . A box as claimed in  claim 10  wherein said security device is substantially planar save for said media storage disc engageable portion projecting on the media storage disc side of said security device and save for said spacer portion projecting from the lid side of said security device and save for said perimeter regions.  
     
     
         12 . A box as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said spacer portion is a cap extending over said rosette member.  
     
     
         13 . A box as claimed in  claim 7  wherein said base includes at least one indexing feature, for receiving the location region of said security device.  
     
     
         14 . A media storage disc box comprising; 
 a base and a lid hingingly engaged to the base to be movable between an open condition to provide access to a media storage disc supported at its central aperture by a push release rosette fixture engaged to or part of said base within said box and a closed condition to provide a substantial enclosure of said media storage disc,    said disc supported intermediate and parallel to said base and said lid when in said closed condition,    a security device in juxtaposition to said media storage disc and said lid, said security device including a means to maintain a separation between said lid and said rosette member in order to prevent said rosette being actuated by the deflection of said lid towards said base.    
     
     
         15 . A security device for use in conjunction with a media storage disc box of a kind comprises a base and a lid hingingly engaged to the base to be movable between an open condition to provide access to a media storage disc to be supported at its central aperture by a push release rosette member engaged to or part of said base and a closed condition to provide a substantial enclosure for said media storage disc, wherein media storage disc is to be supported intermediate and parallel to said base and said lid when in said closed condition wherein said security device is to be placed in juxtaposition to said media storage disc and said lid 
 said security device including a means to maintain a separation between said lid and said rosette member in order to prevent said rosette being actuated by the deflection of said lid towards said base member.
