CASSETTE FOR THE RECEIPT OF DISC-SHAPED ITEMS, PARTICULARLY DISKETTES

摘要

A case for holding floppy discs or other flat articles comprises a boxlike body and a cover, which is hinged to said body and can be turned up from the same. A compartment is defined by the inside surface of said cover and by a lid, which is hinged to the cover near its rear edge. To ensure that an opening movement of the cover will open also the lid, the latter is provided on its sides with cam follower pins, which engage respective cam tracks provided in the body. Each cam track comprises a portion which corresponds to an arc of a circle entered on the hinge axis on which the cover is hinged to the body. That cam track portion is succeeded in the direction of the opening movement of the cover by a cam track end portion, which deviates outwardly from said circle.
