Patent GB-2191470-A (GB)
Title: A box for thin objects
Inventor: WAKELIN THOMAS CAMILLUS VINCEN
IPC: B42F17/08
Filed: 1987-05-29
Abstract: A box for storing thin slightly compressible objects, in particular floppy disks FD, has an inner part 1 and an outer part 2. In an open position of the box, the inner part 1 is substantially upright for support of the disks in a position for selection of one of them. The inner part 1 has a foot member 4 beneath the disks and a stem member 5 behind the disks. A movable member 3 is pivoted at pins 16 to the inner part at a position spaced above the foot 4. This member 3 has a lower portion beneath the pivot pins 16 and an upper portion thereabove. On movement of the upper portion away from the stem member 5, the lower portion 17 moves crosswise of the foot 4 and compresses the disks FD locally between itself and the stem 5 which acts as a reaction member. This action causes the disks to fan out above the pivot pins 16 for selection amongst them. The upper portion of the movable member 3 restrains the disks from falling forwards out of the box.
