Abstract

A literature clip for a media storage container holds thin and thick booklets. In one embodiment, the invention provides a clip that has a first position for thin booklets and a second position for thick booklets. In both of these positions, the clip is resilient to hold booklets of different thicknesses.

Claims (31)

1. A media storage container comprising:

a body;

a literature clip attached to the body;

the literature clip movable from a first position to a second position;

the literature clip adapted to resiliently hold a literature booklet having a first thickness in the first position and a literature booklet having a second thickness in the second position;

the second thickness being larger than the first thickness; and the literature clip including a latch that connects the clip to the body when the clip is in the second position.

2. The container of claim 1 , wherein the body includes first and second walls disposed substantially perpendicular to each other; the clip being cantilevered over the first wall.

3. The container of claim 2 , wherein the latch connects the clip to the second wall when the clip is in the second position.

4. The container of claim 1 , wherein the clip includes a curved portion.

5. The container of claim 1 , wherein the literature clip includes a first portion cantilevered from the body; the literature clip including a second portion cantilevered from the first portion.

6. The container of claim 1 , wherein the body defines an opening that lockingly receives the latch when the clip is in the second position.

7. A media storage container comprising:

a body and a literature holding clip;

the literature holding clip moveable between a first position and a second position;

the literature holding clip being connected to the body at a first location; and

the literature holding clip being connected to the body in two spaced apart locations when in the second position; and

the literature clip including a latch that connects the clip to the body when the clip is in the second position.

8. The container of claim 7 , wherein the body includes first and second walls disposed substantially perpendicular to each other; the clip being cantilevered over the first wall.

9. The container of claim 8 , wherein the latch connects the clip to the second wall when the clip is in the second position.

10. The container of claim 7 , wherein the literature clip includes a first portion cantilevered from the body; the literature clip including a second portion cantilevered from the first portion.

11. The container of claim 7 , wherein the body defines an opening that lockingly receives the latch when the clip is in the second position.

12. The container of claim 7 , wherein the literature clip is cantilevered over a portion of the body in both of the first and second positions; the clip being spaced from the portion of the body a first distance in the first position and a second distance in the second position; the second distance being greater than the first distance.

13. The container of claim 12 , wherein the literature clip adapted to resiliently hold a literature booklet having a first thickness in the first position and a literature booklet having a second thickness in the second position.

14. The container of claim 13 , wherein the container is adapted to hold an item of recorded media.

15. A media storage container comprising:

a body defining a compartment adapted to hold a literature booklet;

a literature clip attached to the body;

the literature clip movable from a first position to a second position;

the literature clip adapted to resiliently hold a literature booklet having a first thickness in the first position and a literature booklet having a second thickness in the second position;

the second thickness being larger than the first thickness; and

the literature clip including a latch that locks the literature clip to the body when the literature clip is in the second position.
