Patent number: 6398024Abstract: A folded paper board compact disc carrier for carrying a plurality of compact discs. A compact disc carrier formed from a single piece of stock comprises a paper board blank having a central portion divided by a fold line into first and second planar portions. Each portion includes a side edge having a tab and a pair of opposing flaps foldable along a fold line lying perpendicular to the central portion fold line. Each flap is foldable to an inward position wherein the flaps define with their corresponding planar half an enclosure adapted to receive a compact disc. Upon folding the first and second planar portions along the central portion told line the enclosures are placed in spaced apart parallel relationship with the side edge tabs of each planar half disposed adjacent each other. The compact disc carrier so formed requires no glue or other adhesives and will hold a plurality of compact discs.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2001Date of Patent: June 4, 2002Assignee: R. R.

Patent number: 6068117Abstract: A book insert CD carrier device is provided that allows for the unitary packaging and thus marketing of books and compact disks or other similar media. The carrier device is constructed of a single sheet of paper board that is easily assembled into a carrier that holds compact disks and that is easily secured to the inner or outer surface of the front or back cover of a book. Due to the configuration of the paper board sheet, which includes a plurality of panels that are divided by a plurality of hinge lines, the assembly process involves folding specified panels and securing the panels as necessary to create a pocket within which the compact disks are stored. The carrier further includes a cover that features a tear strip seal for enclosing the CDs within the pocket. A set of panels cooperate to form a sturdy base by which the carrier is secured to the cover of the book.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 1999Date of Patent: May 30, 2000Assignee: R. R.

Patent number: 5732818Abstract: A package for a compact disc having a rear panel and a front panel associated with the rear panel. The front and rear panels are substantially parallel to each other and have a space disposed between them in which an insert panel is disposed. The front panel has an aperture formed therein which is adapted to receive the compact disc. The insert panel has a central aperture formed therein which is adapted to accommodate the compact disc therein. The aperture formed in the front panel of the compact disc enclosure may be sized to expose at least a portion of the central hole of the compact disc when the compact disc is disposed in the central aperture of the insert panel. The aperture formed in the front panel may also include a finger slot which exposes a portion of a peripheral edge of the compact disc so that the compact disc can be grasped exclusively by its edges, thus eliminating the need to grasp either face of the disc.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 1996Date of Patent: March 31, 1998Assignee: R.R.
