Abstract
A file sleeve for retaining at least one compact disk or the like in a conventional file cabinet has two superimposed panels joined to form a single sheet of two plies. Each of the panels is embossed to provide a circular, disc receiving recess between the plies. In addition, adjacent the embossed section on one of the panels there is a semicircular window that provides access to the recess. A file tab at a top edge of one of panels allows for easy search of a plurality of sleeves stacked in a file cabinet one behind another to locate a sleeve holding a desired disc.
Claims18
A compact disc file sleeve comprising:
- a) two superimposed panels defining a single two ply sheet;
- b) a file tab extending from an edge of one of the panels;
- and
- c) a disc retaining recess between the two panels and one of the panels having an opening to access the recess.
A compact disc file sleeve comprising:
- a) two superimposed panels laid one against the other, one of the panels having a file tab extending from an upper end;
- b) a first of the panels defining a front surface of the sleeve, the first panel having a semicircular opening in the panel;
- c) a second of the panels defining the rear surface of the sleeve, the second panel having a circular embossed section that extends in a rearward direction out from the plane of the second panel;
- and
- d) the semicircular opening of the first panel and the circular embossed section of the second panels being coincident wherein the embossed section forms a disc receiving recess between the two panes and the semicircular opening in the first panel defines the access to the recess.
A blank cut and scored for folding to form a compact disk file sleeve, the blank comprising:
- a) a first panel having a semicircular opening cut from the panel;
- b) a second panel connected along a fold line to the first panel, the second panel having a circular embossed section defining a circular area;
- and
- c) the semicircular opening of the first panel and the embossed circular section of the second panel being equidistant from the fold line such that the opening and embossed section are superimposed one on the other upon folding the panels about the fold line to form a disc receiving recess between the panels with the window providing access to the recess.
17 A blank as in claim 15 wherein one of the panels has a an adhesive on at least part of it surface to adhere the panels one to another upon folding, both panels having an adhesive-free area corresponding to the first and second circular areas.
