Abstract
A record album having a circular or disc-shaped plastic cover is disclosed herein. The cover is fabricated from a pair of disc-shaped plastic sheets which are sealed along about one-half of the peripheral edge so as to define a pocket for receiving the record. Indicia may be applied to the cover so as to provide the cover with a record-appearing surface.
Claims2
A cover for a phonograph record comprising:
- two circularly shaped discs formed from black, sealable, shiny and flexible polyvinyl chloride, each disc having a diameter greater than the diameter of a phonograph record,
- said discs being continuously sealed together for about one-half their circumference so as to provide an open end into which a phonograph record may be inserted and a closed, pocket-like end for receiving a phonograph record,
- a pair of circular, disc-shaped stiffeners for rigidifying the cover and protecting the phonographic record, the stiffeners being of a diameter less than the diameter of the cover, and
- indicia applied to at least one side of the cover, the indicia including record bands, spacing bands and a concentrically placed record label, the indicia providing a record cover which substantially corresponds to a phonograph record housed within the cover, whereby the cover of the phonograph record simulates the phonograph record itself.
