Disc package

Abstract

The present invention relates to a disc package having a structure in which a cover can be fixed on a base by simply pressurizing the cover with respect to the base in a base shaft axial direction and, at the same time, the cover can be prevented from being accidentally separated from the base while the disc package is being transported. Further, in the disc package, a cover once fixed on a base can be separated therefrom by rotating the cover along the circumference of the base in any direction, i.e., in either a clockwise or a counterclockwise direction. Furthermore, an end portion of a shaft can be fitted into a concave portion of a cover even in case the end portion of the shaft is not aligned with the concave portion of the cover.

1 . A disc package comprising: 
 a disc-shaped base; and    a shaft for accommodating a plurality of discs in alignment mounted on the base, wherein the shaft is installed on the base by a snap-fit locking mechanism.    
   
   
       2 . The disc package of  claim 1 , wherein the shaft has a flange fittedly contacted to a top surface of the base for vertically installing the shat on the top surface of the base and coupling clicks coupled with a bottom surface of the base for preventing the shaft installed on the base being separated therefrom, the coupling clicks being of a wedge shape.  
   
   
       3 . The disc package of  claim 2 , when the shaft is installed on the base, the wedge-shaped coupling clicks are elastically deformed to hereby be pressurized against the bottom surface of the base by a restoring force of the elastically deformed coupling click.  
   
   
       4 . The disc package of  claim 2 , wherein each wedge-shaped coupling click has a tapered coupling surface and a distance between a bottom portion of the coupling surface and the flange is smaller than a thickness of a base portion supported between the flange and the coupling click.  
   
   
       5 . The disc package of claim  27 , wherein each wedge-shaped coupling click has a tapered coupling surface and a distance between a bottom portion of the coupling surface and the flange is smaller than a thickness of a base portion supported by the flange and the coupling click.
