  • Publication number: 20030222454
    Abstract: A bias binding system facilitates the filing, storage, and retrieval of rigid, tabular objects. The bend and living hinge holder design allows for the rigid, tabular objects to be scrolled and scanned easily for rapid retrieval. The bias binding system is manufactured from a thin plastic web that is capable of collapsing and expanding easily and that is loose enough to display identifying numbers or symbols on some or all of the objects. The binding can be completely or partially biased to any side to reveal object information. The bias binding system is also used as a storage system for CDs and their literature.

  • Patent number: 6386360
    Abstract: A thin transparent envelope is used to hold compact discs, case liners and liner notes. The envelope is thinner than a traditional jewel case to allow denser storage of multiple disks. An extended portion of the envelope securely holds the case liner and intact spine labels and allows a clear view of the spine label to allow for easy identification of the envelope's contents. In addition, the pocket portion of the envelope has side flaps and a shape which allow the pocket to easily accommodate insertion and removal of discs and literature.
