Abstract
The present invention provides an insertable compact disc tray for standard single CD jewel boxes. The tray allows for conversion to multiple disc retention and has first and second sides with rosettes, for examples, for engaging and for holding first and second CDs. The tray has a shelf which fixedly attaches between first and second outer hinges of the box, and an attached leaf. A living hinge is provided between the shelf and the leaf for allowing rotational movement therebetween, with the user accessing the oppositely mounted CDs through rotation of the leaf around the living hinge. Upward rotation of the leaf allows for the insertion of a graphics card under the shelf and tray before or after the shelf and tray are inserted in the box. The shelf traps and holds the upper edge of the graphics card end and cooperates to hold the graphics card in fixed position during raising and lowering of the cover and the tray.
