<p>A disk cartridge (1) for protecting a disk upon which digital information is stored. The cartridge includes a rectangular shaped cartridge housing (2) and a cartridge insert (3). The cartridge insert is removably disposed within the housing through a side opening (4) thereof. The side opening has an exterior taper (12) which closely engages a cooperating interior taper (13) of the cartridge insert so that a tight seal is formed when the cartridge insert is fully inserted into the cartridge housing. The cartridge insert is locked into the housing by a pair of latches (6) that form an integral part of the cartridge insert. These latches cooperate with catches (7) that form part of the housing to securely lock the insert inside the housing. Only through the use of special engaging pins may the latches be released to allow the cartridge insert to be slidably removed from the housing. </p> |
