Container with molded digital disk holder

Abstract

A container with an interior and a neck finish has a recessed pocket on an exterior side of a sidewall for snap fitting a digital disk thereon. Opposing flanges at the periphery of the pocket snap fit the disk in place in a generally vertical orientation.

1 . A container comprising: 
 a molded plastic body defining an interior with an open neck finish and having a sidewall, and    said sidewall has an exterior face constructed to snap fit with an inner and/or an outer periphery of a digital disk.    
     
     
         2 . A container as defined in  claim 1  wherein said sidewall has an outwardly extending boss constructed to snap fit into a central aperture of a digital disk and retain said disk thereon.  
     
     
         3 . A container as defined in  claim 2  wherein said sidewall about said boss is substantially flat to allow said digital disk, when snap fitted on said boss, to be in proximity near said sidewall.  
     
     
         4 . A container as defined in  claim 1  wherein said sidewall has two opposing integral flanges sized to snap fit to the outer periphery of a digital disk and retain the disk therein.  
     
     
         5 . A container as defined in  claim 4  wherein said sidewall between said opposing flanges being substantially flat to allow said digital disk when snap fitted in place to be in proximity near said sidewall.  
     
     
         6 . A container as defined in  claim 5  wherein said sidewall between said opposing flanges is recessed to form a pocket which has an arcuate wall extending from said flange to laterally retain said digital disk.  
     
     
         7 . A container as defined in  claim 1  wherein said sidewall having a flat section to be in proximity near said digital disk when snap fitted in place.  
     
     
         8 . A container comprising: 
 a molded plastic container body defining an interior with an open neck finish and having a sidewall,    a pocket in an exterior face of said sidewall having a peripheral geometry for receiving an digital disk such that at least a portion of said digital disk is recessed with respect to an outer surface of said sidewall adjacent to said pocket,    a retainer within said pocket and integrally molded with said sidewall for engaging and holding a digital disk in said pocket, and    a digital disk secured within said pocket by snap-fit engagement with said retainer.    
     
     
         9 . As container as defined in  claim 8  wherein said retainer includes opposed internal bead segments within said pocket engaging an outer periphery of said disk.  
     
     
         10 . A container as defined in  claim 9  wherein said pocket has sidewalls to laterally affix said digital disk when snaps fitted to said sidewall.  
     
     
         11 . A container as defined in  claim 9  wherein said pocket has a center boss to extend through a central aperture of said digital disk to laterally affix said digital disk when snap fitted to said sidewall.  
     
     
         12 . A container as defined in  claim 8  wherein said retainer includes an outwardly extending boss within said pocket for snap-fit within an inner periphery of said disk.  
     
     
         13 . A container comprising: 
 a molded body defining an open neck finish, a base and a vertically oriented sidewall, said sidewall having an exterior surface constructed to engage and removably retain a digital disk in a generally vertical orientation.
