Abstract
A protective cover for a video disc comprises an enclosure having an edge opening in communication with a record enclosing cavity and a record retaining member slidably mounted within the cavity for to-and-fro movement therein. The record retaining member includes a spine portion and an annular portion having an opening. The opening in the annular portion substantially encircles an enclosed record such that to-and-fro movement of the record retaining member is transmitted to the enclosed record. The spine portion substantially extends into the edge opening of the enclosure when it is fully inserted therein. The spine portion has a record extracting member receiving hole that is accessible in a direction substantially parallel to the direction of the to-and-fro movement of the record retaining member.
Claims5
A protective cover for a disc record suitable for use with a record player having a record extracting member;
- said protective cover comprising:
- (A) an enclosure having an edge opening in communication with a record enclosing cavity;
- and
- (B) a record retaining member slidably mounted within said cavity for to-and-fro movement therein along a path;
- said record retaining member including a spine portion and an annular portion having an opening;
- said opening in said annular portion receiving a record during its containment in said cavity so that said to-and-fro movement of said record retaining member causes corresponding movement of said record;
- said spine portion extending into said edge opening in said enclosure when said record retaining member is fully inserted therein such that the foremost surface of said spine portion, disposed orthogonally to said path, is substantially even with the surfaces of said enclosure defining said edge opening therein;
- said spind portion having a receiving hole extending from said orthogonally-disposed foremost surface along said path toward said annular portion such that when said record retaining member is fully inserted into said enclosure, access to said receiving hole by said record extracting member is permitted only through said edge opening;
- wherein translation of an occupied cover into said player along a direction parallel to said to-and-fro movement effects reception of said record extracting member into said receiving hole during said translation.
A protective cover for a disc record for use with a record player having a record extracting member;
- said cover comprising:
- (A) an enclosure having an edge opening in communication with a record enclosing cavity;
- and
- (B) a record retaining member slidably mounted within said cavity for to-and-fro movement therein along a path;
- said record retaining member including a spine portion and a further portion;
- said spine portion being adapted to cooperate with said edge opening to form a substantially sealed cavity for said record;
- the foremost surface of said spine portion being disposed substantially orthogonally to said path;
- said further portion having a configuration for restraining planar movement of said record during confinement thereof in said enclosure such that said to-and-fro movement of said record retaining member effects corresponding movement of said record;
- said spine portion having a receiving hole extending from said orthogonally-disposed foremost surface along said path toward said further portion such that translation of an occupied cover into said player along a direction parallel to said to-and-fro movement effects reception of said record extracting member into said receiving hole during said translation.
