Flat box system with multiple view optics

A box system for containing at least one compact disc, said box system comprising:

• a flat base comprising a first flat panel having peripheral edges and shallow raised walls connected around said peripheral edges thereof,
• a flat front cover comprising a second flat panel also having peripheral edges and shallow raised walls connected around the peripheral edges thereof;
• said flat front cover and said flat base being pivotally connected to one another for movement between an open position and a closed position in which they fit together to define an interior chamber therebetween for releasably receiving a compact disc, at least one of said first and second flat panels having a transparent lenticulated section composed of a plurality of parallel lenticules having a focal plane optically associated therewith;
• a removable compliant insert for placement within said interior chamber for providing information that is in a plane substantially parallel to at least one of said first and second flat panels and in optical registration with said transparent lenticulated section thereof, said compliant insert including at least two preprinted interlaced images located substantially at said focal plane of said transparent lenticulated section to provide different information to an observer looking at said transparent lenticulated section from different angular perspectives.

A box system for containing recorded media and providing visual information about the contents of the recorded media, said box system comprising:

• a pair of opposed, spaced apart flat walls having at least one major dimension;
• a plurality of shallow side walls interconnected between said pair of opposed, spaced apart flat walls and having dimensions that are substantially smaller than said major dimension of said pair of opposed, spaced apart flat walls, at least one of said pair of opposed, spaced apart flat walls having at least one transparent lenticulated section having a plurality of parallel lenticules with a focal plane optically associated therewith, said plurality of shallow side walls and said pair of opposed, spaced apart flat walls providing a multisided flat box with an interior chamber for the recorded media, said pair of opposed, spaced apart flat walls and said plurality of shallow side walls also being interconnected to releasably receive the recorded media;
• and
• a compliant insert bearing at least two interlaced preprinted images, said compliant insert being insertable into said interior chamber and located in a plane substantially parallel to at least one of said pair of opposed, spaced apart flat walls of said flat box and in optical registration with said transparent lenticulated section, said compliant insert being further located substantially in said focal plane of said transparent lenticulated section to provide different information about the recorded media to an observer looking at said transparent lenticulated section from different angular perspectives.

A box system for containing at least one compact disc, said box system comprising:

• a flat base comprising a first flat panel having peripheral edges and shallow raised walls connected to said the peripheral edges thereof;
• a flat front cover comprising a second flat panel having peripheral edges and having shallow raised walls connected around the peripheral edges thereof;
• said flat front cover and said flat base being pivotally connected to one another for movement between an open position and a closed position in which they fit together to define an interior chamber therebetween for releasably receiving a compact disc, one of said first and second flat panels having a transparent lenticulated section optically composed of a plurality of parallel lenticules having a focal plane associated therewith;
• a compliant insert for placement in said interior chamber for providing information that is in a plane substantially parallel to and proximate at least one of said front cover and said base and in optical registration with said lenticulated transparent section and said focal plane, said compliant insert having preprinted thereon at least two interlaced images, said focal plane and said compliant insert being positioned to be in optical registration with respect to one another to provide different information to an observer looking at said transparent lenticulated section from different angular perspectives.
