ABSTRACT:
A double-sided plastic tray (12) for holding two compact discs. The tray has a disc-receiving surface (35a) on its face and obverse sides and a tray opening (61) is disposed thereon. A hub (50) comprising an array of tabs (51) is disposed on the surface (35a). Proximal ends of the tabs are attached to-the tray opening (61) and distal ends can reciprocate within the tray opening (61). Prongs (54) are disposed on one side of the distal ends and reciprocate with the tab (51) when they are engaged by the internal rim (60) of a disc and grasp the internal rim (60) to detachably and resiliently hold one compact disc. Shoulders (55) are disposed on opposite sides of the tabs (51). Shoulders (55) reciprocate with tabs (51) when prongs (54) are engaged by the internal rim (60) of a second compact disc to inhibit lateral movement of the second compact disc held by prongs on the opposite side of the surface (35a) and inhibit breakage of the tabs (51). Since prongs (54) and shoulders (55) are disposed on both the face and obverse sides of the tray (35), two compact discs can be held simultaneously and both can be restrained from lateral movement which would break the tabs (51).
