(3) by being inserted into an outwardly opening receiver (5)
which has a ledge (57) that cooperates with the folded hook
(9) of the cover to secure the cover to the tray. Independent
claim 10 addresses a disc package as seen in Figures 37-44 of
the application
drawings, wherein the cover has a latch pin (93) mounted
thereto and the tray has an upwardly expanding opening (100)
at an upper portion thereof for receiving and guiding the
latch pin and gripping the latch pin to hold the cover closed
with the tray. Independent claim 14 is drawn to the aspects
of appellants’ invention seen in Figures 45A-50B of the appli-
cation drawings, wherein the plastic tray (3) has a central
hole (65) which receives a rosette (e.g., 131). The rosette
has a generally disc-shaped base (127) and disc-engaging
petals (135) extending generally perpendicularly in one direc-
tion from the base and spaced prongs (133) extending from the
base generally perpendicularly in a direction opposite to that
of the rosette petals. A copy of independent claims 1, 9, 10,
14 and 61 can be found in the Appendix to appellants’ brief.
