Container for a disc and the like, with means for disengageable retention of the disc

Abstract

A container for a disc, with elements for disengageable retention of the disc, comprising a containment body which has at least one recess which defines a region for accommodating the disc and contact regions for the disc, elements for central retention of the disc being further provided, the central retention elements being supported by a portion which can oscillate with respect to a bottom of the recess for the disengagement of the central retention elements from the disc with a pushbutton actuation on the central retention elements.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A container for a disc, with means for disengageable retention of the disc, comprising a containment body which has at least one recess which defines a region for accommodating a disc and contact regions for said disc, means for central retention of said disc being further provided, wherein said central retention means are supported by a portion which can oscillate with respect to a bottom of said recess for the disengagement of said central retention means from said disc with a pushbutton actuation on said central retention means. 
     
     
         2 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein said recess has at least regions for peripheral contact of said disc. 
     
     
         3 . The container according to  claim 2 , wherein said regions for peripheral contact of said disc are constituted by a peripheral abutment rim which is arranged substantially circumferentially. 
     
     
         4 . The container according to  claim 1 , comprising a recessed region in which said recess is provided. 
     
     
         5 . The container according to  claim 3 , comprising a containment rim which is flanked by at least one portion of said abutment rim. 
     
     
         6 . The container according to  claim 1 , comprising a central protrusion which is arranged at said central retention means. 
     
     
         7 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein said oscillating portion is defined by a slot provided on the bottom of said recess. 
     
     
         8 . The container according to  claim 7 , wherein said slot is substantially V-shaped, with said central retention means arranged proximate to the vertex of said V-shape. 
     
     
         9 . The container according to  claim 8 , wherein said V-shaped slot has a rounded vertex. 
     
     
         10 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein said central retention means comprise a hub which has elastically flexible teeth. 
     
     
         11 . The container according to  claim 10 , wherein said elastically flexible teeth are omitted at a portion of said hub that is directed toward said vertex of said V-shaped slot. 
     
     
         12 . The container according to  claim 10 , wherein said hub has, at a lower face thereof, which lies opposite a disc insertion portion, an oblique cutout in order to allow oscillation. 
     
     
         13 . The container according to  claim 6 , comprising a central contact region for said disc which is laterally adjacent to said slot, on an opposite side with respect to said hub, in order to prevent flexing of said disc upon actuation of said central retention means. 
     
     
         14 . A box-like element for a disc, with means for disengageable retention of the disc, comprising a base body which has at least one recess which defines a region for accommodating a disc and contact regions for said disc, a closure lid being articulated to said base body, means for central retention of said disc being further provided, wherein said central retention means are supported by a portion which can oscillate with respect to a bottom of said recess for the disengagement of said central retention means from said disc with a pushbutton actuation on said central retention means.
