Abstract
A recloseable frame for securing an insert therein.
Claims32
A recloseable disk frame configured to hold a disk-shaped insert and configured to be carried on a chain, the recloseable disk frame comprising:
- a first piece being generally semicircular in shape having first and second ends;
- a second piece being generally semicircular in shape and having generally a same radius of curvature as the first piece, the second piece having third and fourth ends;
- the second end of the first piece and the fourth end of the second piece being pivotally connected such that the first piece and the second piece are configured for movement between a first open position in which a disk can be inserted therebetween and a second closed position in which the first piece and the second piece form a single annular member;
- a hoop extending radially outwardly from one of the first piece and the second piece and configured for receiving the chain therethrough, wherein when the first end of the first piece and the third end of the second piece are detachably engaged in the second closed position, the hoop is configured such that displacement of the hoop radially inwardly into the single annular member disengages the first piece and the second piece to allow movement from the second closed position.

A method of providing a recloseable frame configured to hold an insert, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a frame body having at least a first piece and a second piece wherein the first piece has a first end and the second piece has a third end;
- wherein
- the first piece and the second piece form pivotable portions of the frame body and are configured for movement between a first open position in which the insert can be positioned within the frame body and a second closed position in which the first piece and the second piece are engaged to secure the insert within the frame body;
- providing a hoop extending outwardly from one of the first piece and the second piece and configured for engaging an object, wherein when the first end of the first piece and the third end of the second piece are detachably engaged in the second closed position, the hoop is configured such that displacement of the hoop inwardly allows the first end and the third end to disengage allowing the first piece and the second piece to move from the second closed position.

A recloseable frame configured to hold an insert, the recloseable frame comprising:
- a frame body having at least a first piece and a second piece;
- the first piece having a first end;
- the second piece having a third end configured to detachably engage the first end of the first piece;
- the first piece and the second piece forming pivotable portions of the frame body and are configured for movement between a first open position in which the insert can be positioned within the frame body and a second closed position in which the first piece and the second piece are engaged to secure the insert within the frame body;
- a hoop extending outwardly from one of the first piece and the second piece and configured for engaging an object, wherein when the first end of the first piece and the third end of the second piece are detachably engaged in the second closed position, the hoop is configured such that displacement of the hoop inwardly allows the first end and the third end to disengage allowing the first piece and the second piece to move from the second closed position.

A recloseable frame configured to hold an insert, the recloseable frame comprising:
- a frame body having at least a first piece and a second piece;
- the first piece having a first end;
- the second piece having a third end configured to detachably engage the first end of the first piece;
- the first piece and the second piece forming pivotable portions of the frame body and are configured for movement between a first open position in which the insert can be positioned within the frame body and a second closed position in which the first piece and the second piece are engaged to secure the insert within the frame body;
- a plurality of holding members positioned around an inner perimeter of the frame body, the plurality of holding members being inward projections located on the recloseable frame such that when the at least first piece and the second piece are moved into the second closed position around the insert, the plurality of holding members prevent the insert from moving relative to the frame body.
