Paper compact disc case

Abstract

Disclosed is a paper CD case. The paper CD case comprises a sleeve jacket made of paper and opened at one end thereof; a holder plate made of paper and slidably inserted into the sleeve jacket; and stopper means for limiting a moving distance of the holder plate such that the holder plate is not completely separated from the sleeve jacket. The holder plate has an upper CD holding part on which a CD is rested, a lower support part, and a protective part covering and protecting the CD. First and second projecting beads are formed on the CD holding part to support non-data-written portions of the CD. The stopper means comprises a first hook portion and a second hook portion. The second hook portion is engaged with the first hook portion when the holder plate is pulled out of the sleeve jacket and restrains the holder plate from being completely separated from the sleeve jacket.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A paper CD case comprising: 
 a sleeve jacket made of paper and having an inner space which is opened at one end thereof;    a holder plate made of paper for allowing a CD to be rested thereon and slidably inserted into the inner space of the sleeve jacket so that the CD rested on the holder plate is not viewed from the outside; and    stopper means for limiting a moving distance of the holder plate in the sleeve jacket to a predetermined distance in a manner such that the holder plate inserted into the sleeve jacket is not completely separated from the sleeve jacket.    
     
     
         2 . The paper CD case as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the sleeve jacket comprises a base part and a cover part integrally connected with each other by a vertical wall portion and folded at upper and lower ends of the vertical wall portion so that they are overlapped one above the other, and a pair of wing portions respectively formed at both side ends of the cover part and folded and attached to the base part in a manner such that openings which are defined between both side ends of the base part and cover part are closed by the pair of wing portions; and the holder plate comprises a CD holding part and a support part integrally connected with each other and folded along folding guide lines so that they are overlapped one above the other, and a protective part formed and folded at a free end of the support part for partially covering and thereby protecting the CD rested on the holder plate.  
     
     
         3 . The paper CD case as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein first and second projecting beads for respectively supporting non-data-written portions of the CD, which are located adjacent to inner and outer edges of the CD, are formed on the CD holding part so that a data-written surface of the CD is not brought into contact with an upper surface of the CD holding part.  
     
     
         4 . The paper CD case as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the first projecting bead has a ring-shaped configuration, and a hole which is communicated with a center hole of the CD is defined inward of the first projecting bead.  
     
     
         5 . The paper CD case as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the first projecting bead has a disc-shaped configuration, and a third projecting bead, which is to be inserted into the center hole of the CD, is formed on an upper surface of the first projecting bead.  
     
     
         6 . The paper CD case as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the stopper means comprises a first hook portion which is formed at a free end of the cover part and folded in such a way as to be positioned in the inner space of the sleeve jacket, and a second hook portion which is formed at a boundary region between the CD holding part and the support part in a manner such that the second hook portion is cut from the boundary region at three sides thereof and folded at one side thereof, the second hook portion being engaged with the first hook portion when the holder plate is pulled out of the sleeve jacket and thereby restraining the holder plate from being completely separated from the sleeve jacket.  
     
     
         7 . The paper CD case as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the stopper means further comprises third and fourth hook portions which are formed and folded at both side ends of the CD holding part so that they are engaged with the first hook portion along with the second hook portion when the holder plate is pulled out of the sleeve jacket and thereby restrain the holder plate from being completely separated from the sleeve jacket.  
     
     
         8 . The paper CD case as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein first and second notch portions are formed at free ends of the cover part and base part which free ends define the opened one end of the sleeve jacket in a manner such that the holder plate inserted into the sleeve jacket can be easily grasped by fingers.  
     
     
         9 . The paper CD case as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein a tab portion is formed, by cutting, on the support part of the holder plate at a position where the support part is exposed to the outside through the first notch portion, in a manner such that slippage of fingers upon grasping the holder plate is prevented.  
     
     
         10 . The paper CD case as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein third and fourth notch portions are formed at both side ends of the CD holding part and the support part in a manner such that it is possible to easily grasp both sides of the CD rested on the holder plate without undergoing any interference.
