Abstract
A leafable program table for use in a music box includes a frame having opposed end and side peripheral strips and a plurality of intersecting strips forming a row of rectangular fields and a row of approximately square fields. The square fields are larger than the rectangular fields. Title pages of content booklets for compact discs may be held in the square fields, and lists of song titles may be held in the rectangular fields. Each rectangular field also includes a recessed field into which a numbered label corresponding to a compact disc may be adhered.
Claims11
A leafable program table having a unitary rectangular frame made of injection molded plastic comprising:
- opposed end and side peripheral strips;
- one or more intersecting strips, which run parallel to one of said end peripheral strips and said side peripheral strips and are connected to respective opposing peripheral strips, the peripheral and intersecting strips defining a first plurality of rectangular fields and a second plurality of approximately square fields, said second plurality of approximately square fields being larger than said first plurality of rectangular fields;
- said first plurality of rectangular fields and said second plurality of approximately square fields having wall segments provided with break-throughs therein;
- tongue-like projections being provided on edges of said peripheral strips and intersecting strips;
- wall segments of said first plurality of rectangular fields including recessed fields for receiving numbered labels;
- boreholes on opposing ends of one of said peripheral strips to receive joint bolts;
- and
- continuations on said one peripheral strip to turn the program table over.

A leafable program table having a rectangular frame for displaying compact disc covers and lists of song titles in a music box comprising:
- four peripheral strips joined by a plurality of intersecting strips, each of said plurality of intersecting strips running parallel to two of the four peripheral strips and further being connected at its ends to the other two of the four peripheral strips such that the peripheral and intersecting strips define a first plurality of rectangular fields aligned in a first single row, and a second plurality of rectangular fields aligned in a second single row parallel with the first plurality of rectangular fields, the second plurality of rectangular fields being greater in width than said first plurality of rectangular fields;
- each of said first and second plurality of rectangular fields including a wall segment and a centrally disposed break-through;
- each of said first plurality of rectangular fields adjacent to and in alignment with a respective one of the second plurality of rectangular fields such that a list of song titles may be displayed in each of said first plurality of rectangular fields and a CD cover corresponding to a particular list may be displayed in a respective one of the second plurality of rectangular fields that is adjacent to and in alignment with the particular list;
- said peripheral and intersecting strips including tongue-like projections for holding the lists of song titles and the CD covers;
- and
- said first plurality of rectangular fields including recessed fields for receiving numbered labels designating a CD selection.

- a rectangular frame formed by four peripheral strips joined by a plurality of intersecting strips, each of said plurality of intersecting strips running parallel to two of the four peripheral strips and further being connected at its ends to the other two of the four peripheral strips such that the peripheral and intersecting strips define a first plurality of rectangular fields and a second plurality of approximately square fields within the rectangular frame;
- each of said first plurality of rectangular fields and said second plurality of approximately square fields including a wall segment and a centrally disposed break-through;
- said first plurality of rectangular fields aligned next to and corresponding on a one-to-one basis with the second plurality of approximately square fields, each of said second plurality of approximately square fields being larger than a corresponding rectangular field of the first plurality of rectangular fields;
- said peripheral and intersecting strips including tongue-like projections for holding items in the first plurality of rectangular fields and in the second plurality of approximately square fields;
- said wall segments of said first plurality of rectangular fields including recessed fields for receiving numbered labels;
- wherein opposing ends of one peripheral strip include boreholes to receive joint bolts and continuations to turn the program table over.
