More Information
Summary:A holder (10) for CDs, DVDs (D) and the like includes a plastic molded container (12) sized to accommodate the discs. Along one side (16) of the container, on an inner wall thereof, a living hinge (22) is formed. The opposite side (14) of the container has an interlocking surface. At one end (E) of the container, a slit (S) is formed which extends between the two sides of the container. By pressing against the sides of the container the slit widens into a gap (G) sufficiently wide for a disc to be removed from or inserted into the holder. A truncated cone (60) is molded into an inside surface (58) of one cover (18) of the holder and rings (52, 56) are molded into this surface and the inside surface (54) of the opposite cover (20). This cone/ring assembly holds the seated disc it in place. Guide rails (64, 66) are formed on the same side of the cover as the living hinge to guide the disc during its insertion and removal. The holder allows the user to extract a disc for play or store it after play using only one hand.
