ABSTRACT:
The compact disk carrying case includes, in one embodiment, an outer enclosure which is defined by two clam-shell members. Each clam-shell member has an interfacing edge which mates with the corresponding interfacing edge on the other clam-shell member. A mechanism is provided, such as a zipper, for closing the interfacing edges thereby forming a closeable outer enclosure within which is captured a plurality of compact disks. The clam-shell members are hinged together along a portion of each respective interfacing edge. The carrying case includes a plurality of compact disk carrying plates which are grouped together into n end pairs of plates by n hinges. Each hinge has a progressively increasing span distance between the respective connected plates. Accordingly, these hinges establish minimum, a plurality of intermediate and a maximum span distance between the respective connected plates. In use, the maximum span CD carrying plate hinge is disposed proximate the clam-shell member hinge, the plurality of intermediate span plate hinges are disposed progressively next to the maximum span plate hinge and the minimum span plate hinge is disposed in an interior region of the compact disk carrying case such that it is adapted to be closed on itself such that its respective connected plates are proximately facing each other when the CD carrying case is closed.
