Abstract
A storage case for accommodating a plurality of compact discs includes lid and bottom members having similar rectangular panels and pairs of opposed peripheral walls extending along the short and long sides, respectively, of the respective panels, with the lid and bottom members being pivotally connected for relative movements about an axis parallel to adjacent long sides of the panels between a closed position in which the panels are in parallel spaced relation and the pairs of peripheral walls interfit to enclose a space between the panels, and an opened position in which the panels are angularly spread apart. Trays having compact disc supporting elements thereon are mounted on the lid and bottom members so as to be disposed at interiors of the respective panels in the closed position with the disc supporting elements confronting each other, and with one of the trays being spaced from the respective panel to define a compartment therebetween for receiving a printed booklet or the like one of the trays has cutouts located adjacent both of the opposed sides of the respective panel and being substantially spaced from the relatively short sides of such panel, while the other tray has tapered protuberances located to extend into the cutouts and being dimensioned for bearing support against the booklet in the compartment in the closed position of the lid and bottom members.
