Abstract:
A lockable box for a pre-recorded data carrier in the form of a disc, the box comprising:a first box member and a second box member, each box member having a pair of parallel short edges and a pair of opposing parallel long edges, the box members being adjustable between a closed position in which they cooperate to define a substantially closed box with a closed interior, and an open position in which the inside of the box is accessible to permit a pre-recorded data carrier to be inserted into or removed from the box; at least one of the box members being provided with a mount for releasably securing a disc thereon; each box member having a locking member; at least one of the locking members being adjustable between a locked position in which, when the box members are in the closed position, the locking members interengage so as to prevent the box from being opened, and an unlocked position in which the locking members permit the box members to be moved from the closed position to the open position; wherein the locking members are entirely contained within the box members when the box members are in the closed position so that the locking members do not extend past either the short or long edges of the box which define the closed interior, and the adjustment of the locking member to the unlocked position is achievable only with the use of a special tool.
