Patent ID: 7004315

Claim:
A packaging device comprising: a disc-shaped media having a circular central aperture therethrough; materials other than said disc-shaped media; a container comprising a pair of complementary container elements joined together by interlocking means, each container element having an interior and an exterior surface, said container having an opened and a closed position, wherein said interior surfaces of said container elements cooperate to form a chamber for receiving and retaining said other materials within said chamber when said container is in the closed position; and means for supporting and protecting said recording media upon at least one of said exterior surfaces against lineal movement in either the plane of the recording media or perpendicular to the plane of the recording media, while simultaneously allowing the recording media to rotate about the axis perpendicular to the plane of the recording media, said means for supporting and protecting said recording media is mounted on at least one of said exterior surfaces of said complementary elements, and wherein both said means for supporting and protecting said recording media and said recording media extend away from said exterior surface when said container is in the closed position, wherein said means for supporting and protecting comprises at least one upstanding surface projection mounted on and extending from said exterior surface, said surface projection adapted to be inserted into and engaged within said circular center aperture, and further wherein said at least one upstanding surface projection includes at least one protrusion, said protrusion being adapted to retain said disc-shaped media on said upstanding surface projection, while allowing said disc-shaped media to freely rotate about said upstanding surface projection.
