Abstract
A safety packing for a product to be exhibited, such as a CD packing. The safety packing comprises a housing with an opening through which the product can be inserted into and removed from the safety packing, and a locking mechanism associated with the housing for preventing removal of the product from the housing through the opening. The locking mechanism comprises a frame connected to the housing and a locking element received in the frame. The locking element is movable between a locking position where the product is prevented from being removed from the housing, and an open position toward which the locking element is biased to allow the product to be moved into and from the housing through the opening. The locking mechanism further comprises a retainer that is biased toward a retaining position and movable to a release position through application of a magnetic force, so as to release the locking element from the locking position. An opening is provided in the locking mechanism for receiving a magnetic element operable to generate the magnetic force necessary to move the retainer from the retaining position to the release position.
