Compact disk carrying case

A compact disk case for storing a plurality of compact disks each having an optical surface and a printed surface, the compact disk case comprising:

• a backing sheet having a surface;
• a flexible base sheet having a front contact surface capable of contacting the optical surface of the compact disk and a rear surface, the flexible base sheet defining therein a plurality of slits and being disposed on the backing sheet with the rear surface thereof facing the surface of the backing sheet;
• a first transparent cover sheet disposed over the flexible base sheet to define a first pocket between the flexible base sheet and the first transparent cover sheet for receiving a compact disk therein, the transparent cover sheet having at least first and second interlockable tabs, the first tab being interlockable with a first one of the plurality of slits in the flexible base sheet;
• and
• a first strip of flexible sheet having a front contact surface capable of contacting the optical surface of the compact disk and a rear surface, the first strip of flexible sheet being disposed on the first transparent cover sheet with the rear surface thereof facing the first transparent cover sheet, the first strip of flexible sheet defining therein a slit being interlockable with the second interlockable tab of the first transparent cover sheet.

A compact disk case for storing a plurality of compact disks each having an optical surface and a printed surface, the compact disk case comprising:

• a generally rectangular backing sheet having a surface and a folding line about a center thereof to define a left side wall and a right side wall;
• a flexible base sheet having a front contact surface capable of contacting the optical surface of the compact disk and a rear surface, the flexible base sheet covering an entire area of the surface of the backing sheet with the rear surface thereof facing the surface of the backing sheet and defining therein a plurality of pairs of slits respectively positioned in the left side wall and the right side wall;
• a first transparent cover sheet disposed on and extending across a substantially entire width of the flexible base sheet to define a first pair of pockets positioned respectively on the left side wall and on the right side wall between the flexible base sheet and the first transparent cover sheet for receiving a compact disk in each of the pockets, the transparent cover sheet having at least two pairs of first and second interlockable tabs positioned respectively on the left side wall and the right side wall, the first tabs being interlockable with a first set of two of the plurality of slits in the flexible base sheet;
• and
• a first strip of flexible sheet having a front contact surface capable of contacting the optical surface of the compact disk and a rear surface, the first strip of flexible sheet being disposed on and extending across a substantially entire width of the first transparent cover sheet with the rear surface thereof facing the first transparent cover sheet, the first strip of flexible sheet defining therein at least two slits respectively positioned on the left side wall and right side wall being interlockable with the second tabs of the first transparent cover sheet.

A method of making a compact disk case for storing a plurality of compact disks each having an optical surface and a printed surface, the method comprising the steps of:

• preparing a flexible base sheet having a rear surface and a front contact surface capable of contacting the optical surface of the compact disk, the flexible base sheet defining therein a folding line about a center thereof to define a left side wall and a right side wall and having a plurality of pairs of slits respectively positioned in the left side wall and the right side wall;
• disposing a first transparent cover sheet on the flexible base sheet to define a first pair of pockets positioned respectively on the left side wall and on the right side wall between the flexible base sheet and the first transparent cover sheet for receiving a compact disk in each of the pockets, the transparent cover sheet extending across a substantially entire width of the flexible base sheet and having at least two pairs of first and second interlockable tabs positioned respectively on the left side wall and the right side wall;
• engaging the first interlockable tabs of the first transparent cover sheet with a first set of two of the plurality of slits in the flexible base sheet;
• disposing a first strip of flexible sheet having a rear surface and a front contact surface capable of contacting the optical surface of the compact disk on the first transparent cover sheet with the rear surface thereof facing the first transparent cover sheet, the first strip of flexible sheet extending across a substantially entire width of the first transparent cover sheet and defining therein at least two slits respectively positioned on the left side wall and right side wall;
• and
• engaging the second interlockable tabs of the first transparent cover sheet with the at least two slits of the first strip of flexible sheet.

A compact disk carrying case for storing a plurality of compact disks each having a predetermined diameter, the compact disk carrying case comprising:

• a rectangular member having therein a central folding line to define a left flap and a right flap;
• a first set of plurality of pockets provided on an internal surface of the left flap;
• a second set of plurality of pockets provided on an internal surface of the right flap, the first set and second set of pockets opposing each other in a closed position;
• wherein each of the pockets has an opening and a depth shorter than the diameter of each of the compact disks to allow a top portion of each of the compact disks to extend beyond the opening;
• and
• a transparent flexible sheet connected to a lip of each of the pockets for covering the top portion of each of the compact disks extended beyond the opening of each of the pockets.
