ABSTRACT:
A carrying case for recorded media such as compact discs and 31/2 inch floppy diskettes and the associated printed graphics. The case includes a base hingedly connected to a lid by a hinge panel. A plurality of hinge pages are pivotally joined together by a hinge assembly and mounted on the hinge panel. The hinge pages hold a compact disc on one side and have a removable cover page mounted on an opposite side to form a multi-media page. The cover page enables the multi-media pages to hold either an additional compact disc or a 31/2 inch floppy diskette, and forms an intervening pocket for holding graphics. A pair of pivot arms extend from each hinge page and a housing is formed on a free end of each arm. The multi-media pages are stacked on top of one another and the arm housings of the hinge pages interlock to form the hinge assembly. The multi-media pages are pivoted by the hinge assembly and the manual pivotal movement of one multi-media page toward a horizontal position causes the adjacent housings to interact moving the adjacent multi-media page to a substantially vertical position for ease of removal and insertion of the recorded media and graphics.
