Abstract
A package for a data storage disk such as a CD or a DVD, has a tray with a recess accommodating the disk and received in a sleeve with inwardly bent tabs at its mouth for engagement with the recess to prevent full withdrawal of the tray form the sleeve.
Description
- My present invention relates to a disk package and especially a package for a disk-shaped data storage medium, especially optical data storage media like, for example, CDs or DVDS.
- By and large disk-shaped data storage media are packaged in so-called jewel boxes which have two portions hinged together and one of which is formed with a recess in the shape of the optical storage disk, namely, the CD or DVD, and can have a formation snapping through the hole at the center of the disk. In a simpler, earlier storage unit, the package was formed by a sleeve into which the disk was inserted. In still another arrangement a plastic tray was provided in an outer container and the optical data storage disk was fitted within the recess in the tray. Plastic systems of the aforedescribed type tended to be breakable and the sleeve approach did not sufficiently protect the disk.
- In EP 1 140 639 B1, a tray carrying the disk can be received within a cardboard sleeve to protect the disk which is recessed in the tray. The latter system has the drawback that automatic or automated insertion of the tray in the sleeve is precluded by the manner in which the tray is fixed in the sleeve to prevent it from pulling fully out of the sleeve.
- It is the principal object of the present invention to provide an improved disk package of the last mentioned type.
- Another object is to provide a package which facilitates automated assembly but nevertheless will prevent the tray from fully withdrawing from the sleeve.
- These objects are achieved, according to the invention by providing on the sleeve blank at least one formation which can be bent into the interior of the sleeve on folding of the blank and which can engage a tray inserted into the sleeve to form an abutment enabling only partial withdrawal of the tray but permitting automated insertion of the tray with the disk into the sleeve.
- According to a feature of the invention, two such tabs are provided at the mouth of the sleeve and are positioned and dimensioned to engage in the disk-receiving recess of the tray at the innermost portion of the edge thereof to allow most of the tray to be drawn out of the tray for insertion and removal of the disk.
- The above and other objects, features, and advantages will become more readily apparent from the following description, reference being made to the accompanying drawing in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a blank for a disk package sleeve according to the invention; -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the package with the tray partially withdrawn and the disk broken away; -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the package with the tray withdrawn to its stop and the sleeve partly broken away; and -
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the closed package. - As can be seen from
FIG. 1 , a blank for forming a sleeve for the disk package can comprises afront panel 10 which is formed along itsupper edge 11 with a pair oftabs FIG. 1 . - At the bottom, the
panel 10 is formed with a cut out 16 enabling the purchaser to see that a tray is in the sleeve and facilitating the insertion for pressing up of the tray by a user. A pair ofedge panels panel 10 and adjoinglue flaps bottom panel 21 is connected between thefront panel 10 and arear panel 22 which Is coextensive with thefront panel 10fold edges 23 are provided between the panels to form the sleeve, therear panel 22 is folded parallel to thefront panel 10 and theglue flaps panel 22. - The result is the sleeve shown at 30 in
FIG. 2 with itsfront panel 10, itsrear panel 22, aside panel 17, abottom panel 21 and thetabs - The
sleeve 30 receives atray 31 formed with acircular recess 32 to accommodate the disk shaped storage media, here referred to as thedisk 33.Holes 34 in the tray enable thedisk 33 to be pressed out of therecess 32. InFIG. 4 thetray 31 is shown to be fully received within thesleeve 30 and is visible through thecutout 16 so that a finger can press the tray upwardly in the direction of thearrow 35. - In
FIG. 3 , therecess 32 to have aninner edge 35 which can be engaged by thetabs tray 31 from being fully withdrawn from the sleeve. Preferably theedge 35 and thetabs tabs - The
formation 36 can be pressed into the hole usually provided at the center of the disk to retain it centered in the recess. - It will be apparent that this package can be assembled by automated machinery simply by inserting the tray, usually with the
disk 33 in place, into the sleeve until theedge 35 passes thetabs edge 35 when the next attempt is made to withdraw the tray from the sleeve. Asimilar recess 32 can be provided on the opposite side of the tray to receive another disk. Thetray 31 can be composed of plastic while the blank and sleeve are composed of cardboard, plastic coated paper or paper board.
