Compact disk record package with sliding cover members

A case for a compact disk record, comprising in combination:

• a) a base in the form of a flat rectangular slab having top and bottom sides and having in its top side a shallow nest formation to receive broadside and hold a compact disk record,
• b) a pair of cover members carried by said base at the said top side thereof,
• c) cooperable slide mounting means on said base and one of said cover members, mounting said member for movement in a plane which is common to the other of said members, said mounting means enabling said one cover member to be moved toward and away from said nest formation,
• d) said members having a pair of edges that face each other,
• e) portions of the facing edge of said one member overlying areas of the nest formation when the member is closest to said formation, thereby to hold captive a disk record that may have been previously inserted in the nest formation,
• f) slide mounting means, mounting the other of the cover members for sliding movement toward and away from said nest formation,
• g) portions of the facing edge of the other of said members overlying other areas of the nest formation when the said other member is closest to said formation,
• h) said facing edges being spaced apart and being concave in configuration,
• i) said base and said cover members having cooperable means for yieldably holding the cover members in their positions closest to the said nest formation of the base,
• j) the said cooperable means comprising tracks on the base and cover members, and cooperable nibs disposed on said tracks.

• h) said facing edges being spaced apart and being concave in configuration,
• i) said mounting means comprising ribs on opposite side edges of said base and grooves in said cover members, in which said ribs are received and in which they slide, said stop means comprising tracks on the base and cover members, and nibs disposed on said tracks.

A package for a compact disk record, comprising in combination:

• a) a base in the form of a rigid flat rectangular slab having top and bottom sides and having in its top side a shallow nest formation to receive broadside and hold a compact disk record,
• b) a pair of separate cover members carried by said base at the said top side thereof, said members being relatively movable with respect to each other,
