ABSTRACT:
A carrying case is provided for storing and transporting a plurality of relatively flat, thin items such as compact discs or the like. The carrying case comprises an outer shell defining an enclosed compartment for housing a plurality of items and having a top shell member and a bottom shell member of complementary configuration. A pair of coaxially aligned, spaced apart annular members project from each of the top and bottom shell members and are coaxially alignable for defining a hinge axis therethrough about which the top and bottom shell members may be hingedly coupled for movement between an open condition and a closed condition for respectively accessing and closing the compartment. A plurality of similar, generally flat tray members configured for fitting within said compartment, each has a pair of coaxially aligned, spaced apart hinge knuckles located for positioning in coaxial alignment the hinge knuckles of each of the other trays and with the annular members of the top and bottom shell members for receiving a hinge pin therethrough, thereby aligning the tray members between the top and bottom shells in a facewise stacked condition when the top and bottom shell members are in the closed condition, and permitting individual hinged access to the trays when the top and bottom shell members are in the open condition.
