Cassette for receiving at least one compact disc

A cassette for receiving a compact disk and information material having a thickness of up to 8 mm, said cassette comprising:

• a housing comprised of a base and a cover, said cover pivotably connected with a pivot connection to said base for opening and closing said housing;
• a plate insert positioned in said housing, said plate insert having securing elements for securing at least one compact disk thereat;
• said base having a rectangular bottom with opposite longitudinal edges;
• said base having upwardly extending first sidewalls connected to said longitudinal edges;
• said cover comprising a rectangular top wall extending parallel to said bottom, said top wall having opposite longitudinal edges;
• said cover having second sidewalls connected to said longitudinal edges, said second sidewalls extending downwardly when said housing is closed;
• said plate insert having a rectangular base plate with opposite longitudinal edges;
• said rectangular base plate having lateral projections in a plane of said base plate at said longitudinal edges in an area where a compact disk, when secured at said plate insert, is closest to said longitudinal edges;
• said plate insert having a central support for penetrating a central bore of a compact disk to be received in said housing;
• said lateral projections having a support wall extending parallel to said opposite longitudinal edges and having an upper edge projecting upwardly past said central support;
• said plate insert having upwardly extending third sidewalls connected to said opposite longitudinal edges of said plate insert and extending parallel to and inwardly displaced relative to said support walls, wherein said third sidewalls have upper end faces for supporting information material to be placed into said cassette on top of a compact disk to be secured at said securing elements;
• said central support having an upper rest and projecting to the same height above said rectangular base plate as said third sidewalls for supporting, together with said upper end faces of said third sidewalls, the information material;
• said support walls projecting past said upper end faces of said third sidewalls for centering the information material therebetween.
