ABSTRACT:
A plastic package for storing and selling at retail holds compact discs and accompanying 3.5" diskettes and literature. The container has two parts, a frame and a window. The frame, which is one molded piece, has a cover and a tray connected by a living hinge to form a book-like display. The tray has an opening in the base. Grippers positioned around the base retain a Jewel box inside the opening for external visual recognition. A hinged, foldable 3.5" diskette holder with a spring for securing multiple diskettes is connected by a second living hinge to the bottom wall of the tray. In an inward position, the holder extends along the base below the opening. A flap hinged to the base between the opening and the holder secures the Jewel box. A tab on the holder rests underneath an extension of the flap when the flap extends inward, perpendicular to the base. The flap/tab connection is strong and requires a screwdriver or coin to release. The cover has a clear window which extends around the top and inner side of the cover to entrap an L-shaped graphics card that display the front cover and spine graphics. A flexible retaining arm is molded to the cover for holding printed material. The cover and tray are held closed by a latch/aperture connection. The latch is molded as part of the tray and rests in a position perpendicular to the base of the tray. Once engaging the aperture, the latch can only be released by applying inward pressure to the top or side of the latch.
