  • Patent number: 6092650
    Abstract: A booklet for housing a circular disc, such as audio compact disc or CD-ROM, is disclosed. The booklet has a front and back cover attached to and at least partially rotatable about a spine or hinge and movable between an open and closed position. At least one of the covers comprises a recessed portion. A compact disc holder tray is secured in the recessed portion of one of the covers. A central hub is formed integrally with the compact disc holder tray and has a top and a bottom; the diameter of the top of the hub is less than the diameter at the bottom of the hub, allowing the compact disc to fit over the top of the hub and to become frictionally engaged therewith. As such, the compact disc holder tray holds the compact disc in the booklet in a decorative fashion that allows the compact disc to be viewed when the booklet is in the open position.
