Abstract: A packaging for receiving a disc-shaped information carrier such as a CD has a disc holder in the form of an injection-molded plastic part. The disc holder has a depression into which the information carrier can be placed from above. Securing elements are formed at the disc holder for the information carrier inserted into the depression. A substantially rectangular cover is provided for the disc holder. The cover is connected with a first edge of the cover to the disc holder. A closure is fixedly connected to a second edge of the cover opposite the first edge, wherein the closure together with the disc holder is a component of one and the same injection-molded plastic part. The material connection between the disc holder and the closure is at least one break point, wherein after breakage of the at least one break point the closure, already connected to the cover, is detachably secured to the disc holder.

Abstract: A cassette for receiving a compact disc has a housing including a base and a cover whereby the cover is pivotably connected with the pivot connection to the base for opening and closing the housing. A plate insert is positioned in the housing and has securing elements for securing at least one compact disc thereat. The base has a rectangular bottom with opposite longitudinal edges. The base has upwardly extending first sidewalls connected to the longitudinal edges. The cover has a rectangular top wall extending parallel to the bottom. The top wall has opposite longitudinal edges with sidewalls connected thereto. The second sidewalls extend downwardly when the housing is closed. The plate insert has a rectangular base plate with opposite longitudinal edges. The rectangular base plate has lateral projections in a plane of the base plate at the longitudinal edges in an area where a compact disc secured at the plate insert is closest to the longitudinal edges.

Abstract: A case for receiving at least one data storage disk has a housing with a lid and a base. A support for receiving at least one data storage disk is positioned in the housing. The base has a flat rectangular bottom plate with lateral edges and sidewalls connected to the lateral edges. The lid has a flat rectangular top plate with lateral edges and side walls connected to the lateral edges. The lid and the base are pivotable relative to one another. The pivoting connection is realized by pivot pins connected to the sidewalls of the lid or the base and pivot holes for receiving the pivot pins provided in the sidewalls of the other housing part. The length of the pivot pins is greater than the thickness of the sidewalls with the pivot holes. The pivot pins have a radial enlargement that has a diameter greater than the diameter of the pivot holes.

Abstract: Casing for one to six compact disks, comprising a base (10), a disk-holder tray (12, 63) and a pivoting device, the tray (12, 63) being able to open through 180.degree.. The disk-holder tray (12, 63) comprises a rectangular plate (35) having lateral protrusions (36) carrying strengthening ribs (41). The protrusions (36) and ribs (41) are capable of engaging in recesses (17, 27, 86) formed in the lateral walls (14, 26, 82) of the base (10) and of the pivoting device. The configuration of the trays (12, 63) allows them to be stacked in an automated manner. Original configurations of the disk holding system.
