ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for labeling media cartridges are disclosed, which include an assembly having a substantially planar surface suitable for supporting a hand while writing. A slot which is sized to accommodate a media cartridge is formed in the assembly substantially perpendicular to the substantially planar surface, such that an edge of a media cartridge is flush with the substantially planar surface when the media cartridge is inserted into the slot. The assembly enhances the facility of writing on the edge of the media cartridge since the substantially planar surface supports a hand in a natural manner. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, recesses are formed within the substantially planar surface on opposing sides of the slot to allow a user to easily insert and remove a media cartridge from the slot by grasping an edge of the media cartridge. A preferred embodiment of the present invention also includes spring-like clips disposed within the slot to secure a media cartridge in a fixed position while a user is writing. The assembly of the present invention may be incorporated into other surfaces to provide additional functionality. For example, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the assembly of the present invention is molded into the cover of a computer diskette storage box.
