Optical disc accommodating case

Abstract

An optical disc accommodating case has a bottom cover, an upper lid and a connecting member. The connecting member has two lateral edges opposed to each other. The bottom cover and the upper lid are respectively and pivotally assembled onto the two lateral edges of the connecting member. The bottom cover, the upper lid and the connecting member are formed separately and then assembled together. As such, the optical disc accommodating case cannot be twisted or deformed, thereby ensuring that the position of a retaining base of the bottom cover is precise, and that the optical disc is capable of being installed on the bottom cover smoothly. Therefore, the efficiency of the optical disc automatic packing process is improved, causing the cost of the optical disc automatic packing process to be lowered.
