ABSTRACT:
A carrying case for storing disc-shaped data storage media and associated printed graphics. The case includes a base hingedly connected to a lid by a hinge panel. A one-piece page assembly is hingedly mounted on the base and includes a plurality of first hinge pages hingedly and alternately connected to a plurality of second hinge pages by a pair of flexible hinge straps. The first hinge pages pivot toward and latch to the second hinge pages to form a stack of hingedly joined multi-media pages. Each multi-media page includes a pair of central hubs for holding a pair of compact discs. Each first page includes a pair of outwardly extending tapered tabs which cooperates with the tabs of an adjacent page to produces a cam action between adjacent multi-media pages. The manual pivotal movement of one multi-media page toward a horizontal position causes the tabs of the adjacent page to interact moving the adjacent multi-media page to an upright position for ease of removal and insertion of the recorded media and graphics. A side loading graphics pocket is formed between the first and second pages in each multi-media page which receives and stores graphics and prevents the graphics from sliding therefrom when the multi-media pages are flipped between the horizontal and upstanding positions. Multiple page assemblies can be interconnected to allow the case to store a multiplicity of disc-shaped data storage media.
