ABSTRACT:
A case for packaging and storing a magnetic disk cartridge is disclosed. The case includes a tray that slides into a housing, and a seal between the tray and the housing. The seal protects the cartridge from dust and contaminant infiltration and from physical damage. The tray forms a receptacle for receiving and holding the cartridge and includes a hinge for enabling a front portion of the tray to pivot downward to provide clearance to insert and remove the cartridge by sliding therein. The case includes a latching means for latching the tray and housing together, a transparent panel for viewing the cartridge while it is inside of the case, a clasp that prevents the tray from being fully removed from the housing, and unique key members that mate to corresponding key grooves in a JAZ cartridge.
