ABSTRACT:
A reusable plastic package for holding a rectangular article includes a housing having first and second rectangular-shaped storage compartments formed on opposite ends for selectively storing an article in one of the compartments. Each of the compartments has an access opening for inserting and removing the article into and out of the compartments. The longitudinal length and transverse width of the first compartment is substantially equal to the transverse width and longitudinal length, respectively, of the second compartment, thereby enabling the article to be stored in various orientations in the selected compartments. A lock compartment is formed between the storage compartments, and a slide plate is slidably mounted thereon and selectively movable across the access openings of the storage compartments between locked and unlocked positions for releasably securing the article in one of the storage compartments. Locking levers and mating projections are formed within the lock compartment when the slide plate is in a selected locked position for securing the slide plate in the locked position. A key disengages the locking levers from the projections to enable the slide plate to be moved to the unlocked position. The locking levers and projections are offset in the locking compartment to provide space for an electronic article surveillance tag.
