Abstract:
An assembly of at least one plate-shaped data carrier (2) and a box-shaped storage device (1, 70) therefor, wherein the storage device comprises a first closing part (3) and a second closing part (5) pivotally connected to the first closing part, wherein the first closing part (3, 5) and the second closing part are arranged to fold together forming a receiving space for the or each data carrier (2), said receiving space being substantially encapsulated by the first closing part and second closing part, and can be brought from a closed position into an opened position for positioning or removing the or each data carrier (2), wherein receiving means (13) comprising resilient clamping projections (17) are included for clampingly securing the or each plate-shaped data carrier (2), which receiving means (13) can be accommodated, together with the or each data carrier (2) positioned therein, within the storage device (1, 70) in the closing position, characterized in that the resilient clamping projections (17) extend on either side of a groove (18), wherein the groove (18) is adapted to receive at least a portion of a circumferential edge (19) of the data carrier, and wherein the clamping projections (17) are adapted to clampingly engage, when the data carrier (2) is in the position in which the data carrier is received in the receiving means (13), either side of the data carrier that is received in the groove, wherein the data carrier is withdrawable from between the clamping projections (17) through a force (F) in a direction approximately parallel to the plane of the data carrier (2), wherein at at least one side of the data carrier at least two spaced-apart clamping projections are provided for clampingly engaging said data carrier.
