Abstract
A hinge and trays for containing recorded or recordable media storage discs comprises a hinge comprising an elongate spine with a flange at each end of the spine and extending substantially perpendicular thereto, each flange comprises a connecting member for engaging with a complementary member on a tray to allow a tray to rotate about an axis between the connecting member on each flange, at least one tray comprising a central aperture for supporting a recorded or recordable media storage disc by a fixture and at least one connecting member arranged to engage with the complementary connecting member on each flange of the hinge.
Claims24
A hinge and trays for containing recorded or recordable media storage discs comprising
- a hinge comprising an elongate spine with a flange at each end of the spine and extending substantially perpendicular thereto, each flange including a connecting member for engaging with a complementary member on a tray to allow a tray to rotate about an axis between the connecting member on each flange, and
- at least one tray comprising a central aperture for supporting a recorded or recordable media storage disc by a fixture and at least one connecting member arranged to engage with the complementary connecting member on each flange of the hinge.
A case for containing recorded or recordable media storage discs comprising
- a hinge comprising an elongate spine with a flange at each end of the spine and extending substantially perpendicular thereto, each flange including a connecting member for engaging with a complementary member on a tray to allow a tray to rotate about an axis between the connecting member on each flange,
- at least one tray comprising a central aperture for supporting a recorded or recordable media storage disc by a fixture and at least one connecting member arranged to engage with the complementary connecting member on each flange of the hinge, and
- a cover comprising a first face and a second face joined by a spine, the cover partially housed between the hinge and the at least one tray.
A method for forming a case for containing recorded or recordable media storage discs comprising the steps of
- providing a hinge comprising an elongate spine with a flange at each end of the spine and extending substantially perpendicular thereto, each flange including a connecting member for engaging with a complementary member on a tray to allow a tray to rotate about an axis between the connecting member on each flange, at least one tray comprising a central aperture for supporting a recorded or recordable media storage disc by a fixture and at least one connecting member arranged to engage with the complementary connecting member on each flange of the hinge, a cover comprising a first face and a second face joined by a spine,
- positioning the spine of the cover between the spine of the hinge and the at least one tray and
- bringing the hinge and at least one tray together so that the complementary members on the hinge and tray(s) connect.
A method for forming a case for containing recorded or recordable media storage discs comprising the steps of
- providing a hinge comprising an elongate spine with a flange at each end of the spine and extending substantially perpendicular thereto, each flange including a connecting member for engaging with a complementary member on a tray to allow a tray to rotate about an axis between the connecting member on each flange, the spine of the hinge further including two apertures one near each flange, at least one tray comprising a central aperture for supporting a recorded or recordable media storage disc by a fixture and at least one connecting member arranged to engage with the complementary connecting member on each flange of the hinge, a cover comprising a first face and a second face joined by a spine, the spine including two flaps, one at each end of the spine, the cover partially housed between the hinge and the at least one tray,
- positioning the cover around the outside of the hinge with the flaps of the cover projecting through the apertures on the spine of the hinge,
- folding the flaps towards the hinge, and
- bringing the hinge and at least one tray together so that the complementary members on the hinge and tray(s) connect.
