Disk container

Abstract

A disk container for holding disks includes a base which has a post to run through the disks and a hood mounting onto the base. The post has an anchor end. The hood has a retaining zone which has an opening insertable by the anchor end. The retaining zone holds a movable member through a coupling means. The movable member has a latch notch engageable with the anchor end to form an anchoring relationship at a first position. The movable member may be moved to a second position where the latch notch escapes the anchor end to release the anchoring relationship. Thereby the hood can be anchored or removed easily through a simple operation. Use convenience improves. The entire container is formed with the same diameter. Transportation and storing are easier.

1 . A disk container for holding disks, comprising:
 a base which has a post to run through the disks, the post having an anchor end;   a hood which has a retaining zone, the retaining zone having an opening insertable by the anchor end; and   a movable member which is located on the retaining zone through a coupling means and has a latch notch;   wherein the movable member is selectively movable to a first position where the latch notch is coupled with the anchor end to form an anchoring relationship and to a second position where the latch notch escapes the anchor end to release the anchoring relationship.   
   
   
       2 . The disk container of  claim 1 , wherein the anchor end has two flanges on a distal end of the post and a shrunk retaining portion between the two flanges to form the coupling with the latch notch. 
   
   
       3 . The disk container of  claim 2 , wherein the retaining portion has a diameter smaller than that of the flanges. 
   
   
       4 . The disk container of  claim 1 , wherein the coupling means includes a detent portion located on sides walls of the retaining zone to prevent the movable member from escaping the retaining zone. 
   
   
       5 . The disk container of  claim 1 , wherein the movable member has a coupling aperture to receive the anchor end, the coupling aperture communicating with the latch notch. 
   
   
       6 . The disk container of  claim 5 , wherein the retaining zone further has a dust cap above the opening to pass through the coupling aperture. 
   
   
       7 . The disk container of  claim 1 , wherein the movable member has a jutting force exerting portion on each of two ends thereof. 
   
   
       8 . The disk container of  claim 1 , wherein the retaining zone has a ridge corresponding respectively to the first position and the second position, the movable member having a positioning boss on a lower side of each of two ends thereof to be engaged with the ridge to form an anchoring relationship.
