A case for holding two compact discs or the like including first and second cover parts pivotally connected together so that they can be pivoted between a closed position facing each other and an open position. The cover parts and the structure for pivotally connecting them together is of the type for holding a single compact disc. A tray comprises a planar body portion and an anchor portion, the tray body portion including an annular rosette of fingers on each side thereof for releasably securing a compact disc thereto, the tray body and the tray anchor being pivotally connected together and the tray anchor being secured to one of the cover parts. As a result, when the cover parts are pivoted to an open position the tray body can be pivoted about the tray anchor to facilitate installation and removal of compact discs from both sides of the tray body. Advantageously, the manner in which the tray anchor is secured to the cover parts enables the tray to be readily installed in a standard case for holding one compact disc. The separate tray body and anchor portions together with the nature of the pivotal connection therebetween provide a structure which is strong and long-lasting.
A slim storage casing able to hold two optical disks. The upper and the lower casing each have a central straddling respectively formed at the time of molding, such that two optical disks, using the-center hole of the optical disk, can be coupled to the central straddling at the upper and the lower casing respectively and stored in the storage casing. The upper and the lower casing according to the invention has a thickness of about 5 mm to 5.5 mm when coupled together.
A high-durability storage case is provided in which a disc can be smoothly inserted into and taken out from the storage case, and in which attachment and detachment operations of the disc can be stably performed. According to the storage case (2), a case body (3), a case cover (4), and a supporting plate (5) supporting a disc (1) are pivotally supported in a mutually openable/closeable manner by a four-link mechanism (16) defined by first, second, third, and fourth hinges (11), (12), (14), (15) and an arm segment (13). When the case cover (4) is opened or closed with respect to the case body (3), the supporting plate (5) is drawn into or drawn away from the case body (3) together with the case cover (4).
To provide a plastic case for storing four compact discs, in which a lid part 1 and a case proper 2 are rotatably pivoted at a hinge 3, clip members 4 for storing and holding a printed matter 9 are provided on backsides of the lid part 1 and the case proper 2, and a first tray 6 having a disc-fixing hook 10 placed to jut out front and back sides thereof is rotatably pivoted by the hinge 3 rotatably supporting the lid part 1 and the case proper 2 in a middle, and also a second hinge 8 is placed off a center so as to pivot in addition a second tray 7 by decentering the first tray 6. It is possible to store four compact discs and the printed matter therein and to be only 20 percent thicker therefor than a size of a conventional case capable of storing one compact disc and the printed matter therein, thus causing no difficulty in appearance of product, transportation, exhibition at a storefront and so on.
A sleeve assembly (200, 300) for a digital media disk (90) or similar flat product is disclosed. The sleeve assembly includes a sleeve member (210, 370/380) having a plurality of hingedly connected panels (216, 226, 236, 316, 336), wherein one or more of the panels includes apertures (212, 312). Two of the panels include retaining members (221, 231, 321, 331). In some embodiments, a semirigid disk holder (141) is attached to a panel, for retaining the disk. A removable placard (260), having identifying indicia (262, 264) that is at least partially visible through the apertures, and is removably retained by the retaining members. In some embodiments, an aperture (214) is included on the hinge spine, such that a portion of the placard can be seen from the end of a folded sleeve assembly. The sleeve member may be generic, while the placard includes specific indicia related to the received disk.
An optical disc storage case includes a base, a cover pivotally coupled to the base, a pedestal coupled to the base and having at least one pair of resilient members configured to retain an optical disc thereon, a blocking tongue coupled to a top portion of the cover and extending outwardly therefrom, and a groove associated with a top portion of the base and extending outwardly therefrom. The groove is configured to align the blocking tongue when the optical disc storage case is in a closed position and, when the pedestal is retaining the optical disc, the blocking tongue and the groove are engaged with one another such that access to the optical disc is prevented when a user slightly separates the respective top portions of the base and the cover.
