Abstract: This plastics material tray of substantially square or rectangular shape is made up both of a central portion provided with a hub suitable for retaining a disk on one of its faces, and of an outer portion referred to as a “frame”—for being adhesively bonded on a support. The tray is remarkable wherein its central portion is essentially detached from the frame, which is secured thereto in part only via a hinged link, and wherein the hub is a double hub, enabling a pair of disks to be retained, one on its outside face and the other on its inside face, thus providing free access to each of the two disks in order to put the disk into place on said central portion or in order to remove it therefrom, by pivoting said central portion to move it away from the general plane containing the frame. The invention applies to packaging compact disks such as CDs and DVDs.

Abstract: There is described a box or an insert for a box made up of elements, such as cover element (1) and a bottom element (2) both of which are made of molded plastics material and which are hinged to each other means of a hinge (3). According to the features of the invention, there is included a flexible sheet (4) of synthetic material which is fixed to each of the elements (1) and (2) by overmolding so that there is formed an intermediate free zone (40) which, on its own, is the hinge (3). The box can receive various articles, for example compact discs or an insert which can hold and support the disc in the box.

Abstract: The invention concerns tray for receiving at least a circular data storage disk having a central orifice, comprising in its center wall elements (5; 6) inscribed in a circle, designed to penetrate into the disk central orifice for maintaining it. Said tray is characterised in that said wall elements comprise rigid elements (5) for pressing against the disk central orifice, and flexible elements (6) in the form of elastically deformable fingers, capable of preventing the disk form being released in an axial direction, without coming into contact with the rim of its central orifice.

Abstract: In conventional manner, the box or a box element is made up of elements, such as cover (1) and a bottom (2) both of which are made of molded plastics material and which are hinged to each other means of a hinge (3); according to the invention, there is included a flexible sheet (4) of synthetic material which is fixed to each of said elements (1, 2) by overmolding and which includes an intermediate free zone (40) which, on its own, constitutes said hinge (3). The protective box can receive various articles, for example compact disks.
