Abstract: A storage package for multiple recording media includes a plurality of paper board panels arranged end to end and separated from each other by spline strips which allow the panels to be folded upon one another to resemble a closed book. First and second plastic, recording medium-holding latching trays are attached to the inside face of the last panel to be folded and to the panel face opposite the inside face in the folded configuration. Upstanding wall portions on one of the latching trays nest within the corresponding wall portions of the other latching tray when the latching trays are assembled together. Additional trays for holding recording media are attached to panel faces which are in the interior of the package in the closed configuration.

Abstract: A storage package for a recording medium configured to resemble a book includes a paper board panel releasably attached to first and second plastic, recording medium-holding components, each including a planar surface having means on one face for holding a recording. Upstanding wall portions on one of the components nest within the corresponding wall portions of the other component when the components are assembled together.

Abstract: A storage package for a recording medium configured to resemble a book includes a paper board panel releasably attached to first and second plastic, recording medium-holding components, each including a planar surface having means on one face for holding a recording. Upstanding wall portions on one of the components nest within the corresponding wall portions of the other component when the components are assembled together. The paper board panel is uncreased, unscored and unfolded and includes first and second panel areas for adhesive attachment of the plastic components. During assembly, the paper board panel is tautly stretched about and adhesively bonded to the assembled plastic components along the faces of the planar surfaces opposite the recording medium holding faces and along a transverse spline edge of the assembled, the creases defining the spline of the book being formed in the paper board panel during adhesive bonding.

Abstract: A tray for holding multiple discs within a storage container which, desirably, is a conventional single disc jewel box, includes a leaf for mounting discs on opposite sides thereof and a shelf substantially rigidly attached, via attachment plates depending from the shelf, to the jewel box base, the leaf being pivotably connected to the shelf via a hinge connection which permits the leaf to pivot thereabout for accessing discs on both sides of the leaf. Flanges cantilevered from the leaf each have an upwardly opening pivot bore for pivotably engaging a pivot pin supported by the shelf. Reinforcing plates depending from opposite sides of the shelf are spaced from the shelf attachment plates for rigidly reinforcing the shelf while permitting the shelf attachment plates to flex, as needed, to engage the jewel box base.

Abstract: An improved storage package for a recording medium includes a paper board component releasably attached to a plastic, recording medium-holding component. The paper board component includes a flat base panel having upstanding flaps extending substantially perpendicular to the base panel. The plastic component includes a generally planar surface having a skirt depending therefrom. Lugs extend under the planar surface from the skirt for engaging apertures on the flaps. Inclined walls depend from the planar surface adjacent the skirt for guiding and directing the leading edge of each of the flaps.

Abstract: An improved rosette for securing a disc having a central aperture includes a raised cylindrical hub projecting upward from a planar base, the hub being formed of first and second upstanding annular sections having substantially cylindrical side walls1, the first annular section comprising at least 180.degree. of the circumferential extent of the circular hub. Each of the annular sections includes at least one radially extending rim projecting outwardly beyond the cylindrical side walls. The second annular section cylindrical wall is positioned radially outwardly of the cylindrical wall of the first annular section and is supported on the base for allowing radially inward and downward pivoting of its cylindrical wall.

Abstract: An insertable tray for converting a single compact disc (CD) container (jewel box) into a two CD jewel box, having, however, protrusions on the front and back part of the bottom side of the insertable tray. These protrusions allow automated handling and loading of the CD into the jewel box without damaging the CD on the bottom side through automatic handling and loading the CDs onto each side of the insertable tray for a standard jewel box.

Abstract: An enclosure for optical disks comprising: a rectangular top portion comprising a top wall, a pair of opposite depending side walls and a depending end wall; a rectangular bottom portion, including a bottom wall, sized to align with the bottom edges of the depending side walls and end wall of the top portion; welds securing the top and bottom portions at spaced apart locations along their periphery with the top and bottom walls in generally parallel, spaced relation for forming a box-like structure defining a cavity therewithin, the box-like structure having an access opening along its end opposite the end wall for permitting the insertion and removal therethrough of optical disks into and from the cavity; rigid projections projecting into the cavity from opposite side walls for reducing the side-to-side dimension of the cavity to less than the diamerter of the disk at a location along the side walls, the location positioned between the access opening and the point along each side wall corresponding to the di
