Slide magazine

Claim 2

A photographic slide magazine comprising: a box of substantially parallelepipedic shape having a closed end, four sidewalls and an open end; a pair of outwardly protruding flanges disposed on first and second opposing sidewalls at said open end, said flanges lying in a common plane; a cover including means for receiving said flanges and being slideable along said flanges for closing and completely exposing said open end; and at least one projection extending from a third sidewall beyond said plane.

Claim 3

The magazine set forth in claim 1 wherein said cover includes a keying cutout on each of two opposed parallel edges that are displaced from the midpoint of said edges.

Claim 4

A photographic slide magazine comprising: a box of parallelepipedic shape capable of storing a plurality of photographic slides, said box including four sidewalls, a bottom wall and an open end; a pair of flanges that project outwardly from the tops of two opposing parallel sidewalls; a pair of posts that project outwardly from the tops of said two sidewalls at their intersection with a third sidewall, said posts having a height greater than said flanges and being spaced from said flanges; a captive cover including internal grooves along two opposed parallel edges for receiving said flanges to perMit sliding movement parallel to said grooves to open and close said box and for preventing removal of said cover by movement in any other direction; a rim that projects downwardly from a third edge of said cover for preventing removal of said cover when it is slid in a closing direction by abutting said third sidewall; and a constriction in said grooves at the fourth edge of said cover for permitting passage of said flanges and abutting said posts to prevent removal of said cover when it is slid in the opening direction, whereby the cover is captive with the box and said space between the posts and the flanges permits downward rotation of said cover when it is at the limit of movement in the opening direction to allow complete access to said open end of said box.

Claim 5

A photographic slide magazine comprising: a box of parallelepipedic shape capable of storing a plurality of photographic slides, said box including four sidewalls, a bottom wall and an open end; a pair of flanges that project outwardly from the tops of two opposing parallel sidewalls; a pair of posts that project outwardly from the tops of said two sidewalls at their intersection with a third sidewall, said posts having a height greater than said flanges and being spaced from said flanges; a captive cover including internal grooves along two opposed parallel edges for receiving said flanges to perMit sliding movement parallel to said grooves to open and close said box and for preventing removal of said cover by movement in any other direction; a rim that projects downwardly from a third edge of said cover for preventing removal of said cover when it is slid in a closing direction by abutting said third sidewall; and a constriction in said grooves at the fourth edge of said cover for permitting passage of said flanges and abutting said posts to prevent removal of said cover when it is slid in the opening direction, whereby the cover is captive with the box and said space between the posts and the flanges permits downward rotation of said cover when it is at the limit of movement in the opening direction to allow complete access to said open end of said box.

Claim 6

The slide magazine set forth in claim 3 wherein said captive cover includes a keying cutout on each of said two opposed parallel edges that are displaced from the midpoint of said edges.

Claim 7

The slide magazine set forth in claim 4 wherein said flanges lie in a common horizontal plane and the fourth sidewall of said box includes at least one projection extending upwardly beyond said horizontal plane.

Claim 8

A photographic slide magazine comprising: a box of substantially parallelepipedic shape for containing a supply of slides, said box having a closed end, four sidewalls and an open end; a pair of outwardly protruding flanges disposed on first and second opposing sidewalls at said open end, said flanges lying in a common plane for receiving a slideable cover and for insertion into a slide projector to orient said supply of slides in said plane; a cover having internal grooves along two opposing edges of said cover for receiving said flanges said cover being slideable along said flanges for closing and completely exposing said open end; and at least one projection extending from a third sidewall beyond said horizontal plane for releasing a loading platform in said projector from detent means as said box is removed from said projector.

Claim 9

A photographic slide magazine comprising: a box of substantially parallelepipedic shape for containing a supply of slides, said box having a closed end, four sidewalls and an open end; a pair of outwardly protruding flanges disposed on first and second opposing sidewalls at said open end, said flanges lying in a common plane for receiving a slideable cover and for insertion into a slide projector to orient said supply of slides in said plane; a cover having internal grooves along two opposing edges of said cover for receiving said flanges said cover being slideable along said flanges for closing and completely exposing said open end; and at least one projection extending from a third sidewall beyond said horizontal plane for releasing a loading platform in said projector from detent means as said box is removed from said projector.

Claim 10

A photographic slide magazine comprising: a box of substantially parallelepipedic shape having a closed end, four sidewalls and an open end; a pair of outwardly protruding flanges disposed on first and second opposing sidewalls at said open end, said flanges being in a common plane; and a cover including means for receiving said flanges and being slideable along said flanges, said cover further including a keying cutout on each of two opposing edges, said cutouts being displaced from the midpoint of said edges.

Claim 11

A photographic slide magazine comprising: a box of substantially parallelepipedic shape having a closed end, four sidewalls and an open end; a pair of outwardly protruding flanges disposed on first and second opposing sidewalls at said open end, said flanges being in a common plane; and a cover including means for receiving said flanges and being slideable along said flanges, said cover further including a keying cutout on each of two opposing edges, said cutouts being displaced from the midpoint of said edges.

Claim 12

A photographic slide magazine for use in a slide projector comprising: a box of substantially parallelepipedic shape for containing a supply of slides, said box having a closed end, four sidewalls and an open end; a pair of outwardly protruding flanges disposed on opposing sidewalls at said open end, said flanges lying in a common plane for receiving a slideable cover and for insertion into said slide projector to orient said supply in said plane; a cover having internal grooves along two opposing edges of said cover for receiving said flanges and having a keying cutout on each of said opposing edges that are displaced from the midpoint of said edges for cooperating with a pair of bosses formed in said projector to insure that said magazine is properly inserted in said projector.

Claim 13

A photographic slide magazine for use in a slide projector comprising: a box of substantially parallelepipedic shape for containing a supply of slides, said box having a closed end, four sidewalls and an open end; a pair of outwardly protruding flanges disposed on opposing sidewalls at said open end, said flanges lying in a common plane for receiving a slideable cover and for insertion into said slide projector to orient said supply in said plane; a cover having internal grooves along two opposing edges of said cover for receiving said flanges and having a keying cutout on each of said opposing edges that are displaced from the midpoint of said edges for cooperating with a pair of bosses formed in said projector to insure that said magazine is properly inserted in said projector.
