  • Patent number: 5088674
    Abstract: A bracket is provided for supporting a conventional case for a Compact Disk. The bracket mounts against a flat surface such as a wall and holds the case so that the artwork on the case cover is visible. The bracket has a base and a pair of arms on opposite sides of the base that extend away from the mounting surface. Each arm has a lip extending toward the opposing arm to clamp one portion of the case. A first lip clamps the case on a portion of the case's top surface proximate a hinged case end, while a second lip clamps on a small flange on the side of the case opposite its hinged end. The first lip has a low profile allowing the case cover to be fully opened to access the Compact Disk therein, without removing the case from the bracket. The second lip has a sloping top surface that contacts the flange of the case during insertion of the case into the bracket.
