a back which connects the cover with the holder, wherein at least one part of the back makes an angle between 10° and 80° with the holder and where the holder includes a tight thread connected to at least one hook releasably engagable with the cover and a button that rests upon the thread which when depressed releases the hook,
2. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein at least part of the back makes an angle between 20° and 70° with the holder.
11. The assembly according to claim 10, wherein the supporting surface has an angle between 1° and 20° with reference to a bottom side of the holder.
This purpose will be reached because one part of at least one side of the holder is placed in an angle between 10° en 80° in relation to the bottom side. One side has a slant part. Therefore one side is sloping and is put in a rising angle between topside and bottom side, therefore this side is better shown from the angle of which is looked to the holder in the rack, besides of that the surface of the side will enlarge, depending on the angle, as a result of that more text can be shown. The side is no longer the shortest connecting line between the topside and bottom side. At least one part of the side is placed in an angle between 10° and 80° with the shortest connection between top- and bottom side.
In the preferential design at least a part of one side of the holder is placed in an angle between 10° and 80° with the topside
Preferred is that the part of the side is placed in an angle of more than 20° with the bottom side, and in another preferential design is that a part of the side is placed in an angle less than 70° with the bottom side.
It is positive the insert-space of the holder to provide of position-additions for data carrier, which will fix a supporting surface for the data carrier, which is in a slanting way to the bottom side. Because of that the data carrier is placed in a slanting position to the bottom side. Preferably the supporting surface is placed in an angle between 1° and 20° with the bottom side. When the bottom side of the holder is placed on a flat supporting surface, for instance a table, the data carrier is slanting to place in the holder. Using clips for the data carrier are not necessary.
Preferably, the insert-space 14 is made slanting in the holder. Clearly shown in FIG. 3, in which a cross-section is shown of the opened state of the holder 1 between line III-III in FIG. 2. The insert-space 14 is higher at the front side of the holder 1 higher than at the backside towards the hinge 10. The insert-space runs slanting down. The supporting surface 17 of the insert-space 14 is placed in a small angle with the bottom side and the top side of the holder 1. In fact we can speak of a Z-figure (bottom side, slanting supporting surface, topside) in which the angles between bottom side and topside are between 1° and 25°, preferential between 2° and 10°. When the holder 1 is placed on a horizontal surface the data carrier 13 will kept in his place by gravity.
When the data carrier 13 is placed in the insert-space 14, as shown in FIG. 3, the data carrier 13 will, at the backside, at the side which is near by the hinge 10 of the cover part 2, gripped by a U- or a C-shape edge 21, which is formed in the holder part 3. The edge 21 is preferably constructed that the edge will grip tightly to the data carrier 13. The edge can be provided of soft grip material which will tightly grip the contour of the data carrier so at least the data carrier 13 will be partly prevented from falling out of the holder 1. The insert-space 14 includes an edge 21 which grips at least less than half of the contour of the data carrier 13. The edge 21 can also have a small arch corner, for instance 120°. In another preferential design the edge 21 can be formed by more smaller parts. In one design the insert-space 14 is formed bigger than the thickness of the data carrier. The data carrier 13 will be lying free in the C-shape edge.
Cover part 2 can hinge around axis 10 of the closed state shown in FIG. 1 towards opened state shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. In FIG. 3 there is shown a strip steel material 41 which is put in between cover part 2 and the holder part 3. This steel strip 41 is flexible to take care for pre-stress of the clip in a opened state, for instance the condition shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. In a further preferential design the pre-stressed condition is an open condition, in which the cover part is placed in an angle of 90° with the holder part 3. There can be put in a few metal strips 41 nearby the hinge 10.
