<p>The present invention relates to a container (1) adapted to contain one or more articles (4), notably a case for a compact disc, which container (1) has access means (2) whereby the article(s) (4) can be inserted into or removed from the container (1), the container (1) being provided with a detent mechanism (10) adapted to retain the article (4) within the container (1), which detent mechanism comprises: a) a sole plate member (5) located adjacent the interior of one wall of the container (1) and adapted to move axially substantially parallel to the plane of that wall and to bear against a face of the article (4) which is to be inserted into or removed from the container (1) through said access means (2); b) a biassed member (20) adapted to move between an operative position, at which the member (20) engages the sole plate member (5) so as to retain it against axial movement, and an inoperative position, at which the biassed member (20) permits axial movement of the sole plate member (5); and c) a stop member (10), which can be provided by the biassed member (20) or by a stop member (10) carried by the sole plate member (5), which stop member (20 or 10) is adapted to engage said article (4) and to retain said article (4) within the container (1) when said biassed member (20) engages the sole plate member (5) in its operative position. The invention also provides a detent mechanism suitable for use with the container.</p> |
