ABSTRACT:
A case and tray for holding two high-density media recording devices, commonly known as compact discs or CDs, on opposite planar surfaces of a tray molded of brittle, transparent polystyrene. The tray will fit in a conventional case, commonly called a jewel box, adapted to receive a tray for holding only one compact disc. An insert is disposed at each side of the tray and each has an outwardly extending pin disposed thereon. The pin is arranged to fit into retaining openings in sidewalls of the conventional case into which the tray will be fitted, whereby to hold it in place. A pivot point is disposed between the sidewall and the planar surface. A frangible membrane having a thickness approximating the thickness of flashing is arranged with the pivot point. The frangible membrane is arranged to hold the tray and the inserts as a single unit until the tray is fitted into the case and is arranged to break so the tray can swing, thereby allowing access to both sides thereof. The tray can be arranged to swing in either a portfolio or book style from the case depending upon which retaining opening the pin is fitted.
