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.

Claims (18)

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 fined 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
