## Abstract

Device (16) for mounting and exposing on a substantially vertical surface CD-boxes (11) of the type comprising a bottom part (26) with a hinged cover (27), the bottom part (26) comprising a lower part (28) and an upper part (29) attached to the lower part by snap action, the bottom part (26) forming at one of the two opposite edges a gap (30) between the lower part and the upper part and at the other one of these opposite edges a projecting rib (31). The device comprises two limbs (19, 20) projecting from said surface mutually spaced a distance corresponding to the width of the box. One limb (19) has an edge flange (21) pointing towards the other limb, while said other limb (20) has at least one projection (23). The box is mounted between the limbs (19, 20) by the flange (21) being inserted into the gap (30) and the projection then being allowed to snap over the rib.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A device for mounting and exposing on a substantially vertical surface CD box of a type having a base for supporting a compact disc, a cover connecting to the base at a hinged end thereof and being pivotable about the hinged end between a closed position and an open position, said base comprising a lower part and an upper part attached to the lower part by snap action, said upper and lower parts forming a gap therebetween at said hinged end, and having a projecting rib at a distal end thereof opposite said hinged end, said device comprising:
a panel to be attached to said surface;
two limbs projecting from said surface mutually spaced a distance corresponding to a width of the CD box between said hinged end and said distal end;
an edge flange on one of said limbs pointing towards the other limb; and
at least one projection on said other limb, said limbs being formed to receive the CD box therebetween with said flange inserted into said gap and with said projection snapped over said rib.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A device according to claim 1, wherein said limbs are interconnected by a web to form together with said web a U-shaped bracket.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

A device according to claim 2, wherein said brackets are attached to said panel at the web thereof.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

A device according to claim 1 for the CD box in which said bottom part is attached to said upper part by means of at least one fin at the hinged end of the CD box, wherein the edge flange of said one limb forms a slot for receiving said fin therein when the edge flange is received by the gap.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

A device according to claim 1 for the CD box in which said bottom part is attached to the upper part by means of several fins mutually spaced, at the hinged end of the box, wherein the edge flange of said one limb has a width corresponding to a space between adjacent fins to be received therebetween when the edge flange is received by the gap.

### Claim 6 (depends on 2)

A device according to claim 2, wherein an end portion of said web at each end thereof is raised in relation to a central portion of the web a shoulder being formed between said central portion and each of said end portions.
