  • Patent number: 5449066
    Abstract: A carrier or receptacle for a computer disc and printed matter relating to its contents is disclosed. It is comprised of a sheet of semi-rigid, durable material such as paperboard or spunbonded olefin fabricated to a specific configuration and having score lines at various locations such that flaps and hinges are formed to enable folding of the sheet into a multi-pocket storage apparatus. The pocket designated for the storage of the computer disc is dimensioned so as to permit its easy insertion and removal and to further permit the user to view the identification label of the disc when stored. One or more additional pockets for the retention of information cards or other media, containing printed matter, are also provided and have open or transparent windows to enable viewing of the printed information when inserted. The dimensions of the subject device closely conform to those of the disc stored therein such that storage of both, within conventional disc storage cabinets and the like, is made possible.
