Storage case for multiple compact discs

A relatively thin rectangular case for protectively and compactly storing at least four information-bearing compact discs, said case comprising a substantially rigid top case member and a substantially rigid bottom case member attached to said top case member by hinge means for allowing relative pivotal movement of the top and bottom case members between an opened state and a closed state of said case;

• said case having an interior storage area defined between the top and bottom case members when said case is in the closed state;
• said storage area being accessible with said case in the opened state;
• a binder member removably engaged within said bottom case member adjacent said hinge means;
• said binder member removably engaged and in-part stabilized within said bottom case member by way of a disconnectable snap-fit engagement between extending knobs one on each of two oppositely disposed ends of said binder member and apertures one in each of two oppositely disposed side walls of said bottom case member;
• said binder member further stabilized within said bottom case member by a peripheral edge flange of a main panel of said binder member resting upon said two oppositely disposed sides walls;
• said main panel of said binder member having a top surface positioned within a material relief in said top case member adjacent said hinge means and defining a portion of a front exterior surface of said case with said case in the closed state;
• multiple extending members extending from an underside of said main panel of said binder member toward an interior bottom surface of said bottom case member;
• at least four flexible substantially thin and flat sleeves each suitably sized for storing at least one compact disc therein, each of the sleeves including at least one access opening for allowing insertion and removal of a compact disc relative to the sleeve;
• connecting means associated with a first edge of each of the sleeves and said multiple extending members of said binder member connecting the sleeves to said binder member so that in a stored position the sleeves rest stacked upon one another primarily within said bottom case member and between the side walls thereof;
• the sleeves being sufficiently flexible at least along said first edge adjacent said multiple extending members to allow bending thereof to such a degree as to allow moving of the sleeves upward from the stacked stored position within said bottom case member outward beyond the side walls thereof to allow access to said access opening of each of the sleeves when said case is in the opened state.

A relatively thin rectangular case for protectively and compactly storing at least four information-bearing compact discs, said case comprising a substantially rigid and transparent top case member and a substantially rigid and transparent bottom case member attached to said top case member by hinge means for allowing relative pivotal movement of the top and bottom case members between an opened state and a closed state of said case;

• said case having an interior storage area defined between the top and bottom case members when said case is in the closed state;
• said storage area being accessible with said case in the opened state;
• a binder member removably engaged within said bottom case member adjacent said hinge means;
• said binder member removably engaged and in-part stabilized within said bottom case member by way of a disconnectable snap-fit engagement between extending knobs one on each of two oppositely disposed ends of said binder member and apertures one in each of two oppositely disposed side walls of said bottom case member;
• said binder member further stabilized within said bottom case member by a peripheral edge flange of a main panel of said binder member resting atop said two oppositely disposed sides walls;
• said main panel of said binder member having a top surface positioned within a material relief in said top case member adjacent said hinge means and defining a portion of a front exterior surface of said case with said case in the closed state;
• multiple extending members extending from an underside of said main panel of said binder member toward an interior bottom surface of said bottom case member;
• at least four flexible substantially thin and flat sleeves each suitably sized for storing at least one compact disc therein, each of the sleeves including at least one access opening for allowing insertion and removal of a compact disc relative to the sleeve;
• apertures within a first edge of each of the sleeves with said multiple extending members of said binder member inserted through said apertures and securing said sleeves to said binder member so that in a stored position the sleeves rest stacked upon one another primarily within said bottom case member;
• the sleeves being sufficiently flexible at least along said first edge adjacent said multiple extending members to allow bending thereof to such a degree as to allow moving of the sleeves from the stacked stored position within said bottom case member outward to allow access to said access opening of each of the sleeves when said case is in the opened state;
• first identification means removably secured against a back interior surface of the transparent top case member and visible therethrough for identifying compact discs within said case through said front exterior surface of said case with said case in the closed state;
• second identification means removably secured against a back interior surface of a transparent spine side wall of said bottom case member adjacent said hinge means and extending perpendicular between said two oppositely disposed side walls, said second identification means for identifying compact discs within said case through said transparent spine side wall with said case in the closed state.
