Case for a multiplicity of media discs

Abstract

A case for storing a multiplicity of media discs, includes a cover, an internal binder attached to the cover or formed integrally with it and having a pair of laterally spaced tracks that have a certain height, and a number of substantially planar disk-mounting panels. Each disk-mounting panel has a pair of transverse extending slots, each interacting with one of the tracks in such manner as to open like the page of the book and move laterally toward and away from the binder. The disk case can store a large number of disk-mounting panels while conforming to standardised case width and height dimensions.

1 . A disk case for storing a multiplicity of media discs, comprising; 
 a cover,    an internal binder attached to or formed integrally with the cover and having a pair of laterally spaced tracks that have a certain height,    a plurality of substantially planar disk-mounting panels, each having a pair of transverse extending slots having a length approximating the height of each track, wherein each slot interacts with a respective one of the tracks in such manner as to enable pivoting of the panel throughout an angular range whilst maintaining a capability of lateral in-plane movement at any angular orientation within that range.    
   
   
       2 . The disk case of  claim 1 , wherein the cover includes a front portion and a back portion between which the disk-mounting panels are located, and a spine hingedly connecting the front and back portions, and wherein the binder extends from the spine.  
   
   
       3 . The disk case of  claim 1 , wherein each track comprises a wall and a curved rail, and wherein each slot opens to an edge of its disk-mounting panel at a lip against which the curved rail can bear.  
   
   
       4 . The disk case of  claim 1 , wherein each disk-mounting panel comprises a pair of resilient disk-mounting bosses extending from respective opposed faces thereof.  
   
   
       5 . The disk case of  claim 2 , wherein the front portion and the back portion each comprise an inward facing resilient disk-mounting boss.  
   
   
       6 . The disk case of  claim 1 , wherein the slots are located adjacent to respective top and bottom edges of the disk-mounting panels.
