Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0150472A1] The invention relates to a container comprising an inner area (4) used for storing objects (5), especially digital data carriers. The container consists of a bottom part (11, 11', 11'') and a top part (12, 12', 12''), being essentially shaped as a round disk . An edge section (2, 14, 14'') of the container extends from a disk plane (E) in a divergently domed and/or kinked manner. According to the invention, in order to use the container as a portable disk, the middle section (3) thereof extends from the disk plane in a divergently curved manner, the curvature of the bottom part (11, 11', 11'') is directed towards the inside of the container, the curvature of the top part (12, 12', 12'') is directed away from the inside (4) of the container, and the curvatures of the bottom part (11, 11', 11'') and top part (12, 12', 12'') respectively increase in a radial manner in an outward direction from the mid-points thereof.
