  • Patent number: 5407067
    Abstract: A folding compact disk carrying case foldable about a center thereof to define interior right and left surfaces and including a plurality of pockets in the interior surfaces. Each of the pockets has an opening and a depth shorter than the diameter of each of the compact disks to allow a top portion of each of the compact disks to extend beyond the opening. A transparent flexible sheet is connected to a lip of each of the pockets for covering the top portion of each of the compact disks extended beyond the opening of each of the pockets. As a result, while the top portion of each compact disk is extended outside of each pocket for easy and quick access and removal of the compact disk, the transparent flexible sheet covering the top potion protects the surface of the compact disk and yet allows a quick recognition of the compact disk.
