Description

COMPACT DISC PACKAGE
The present invention relates to a compact disc package consisting of a rectangular sheet which, when as viewed from one of the short sides, is divided into a disc panel incorporating a disc mounting section provided with disc retaining tabs, at least one first folding panel, one second folding panel and a closing flap attached to the second folding panel, which sheet can be folded to form a consignment package, the disc panel being folded in a first direction so that the disc mounting section faces the first folding panel and the rear side of the disc panel faces the second folding panel, and the closing flap being designed for insertion in one side of the first folding panel, and which sheet is provided with an area on which the address of the package may be given, which area is removable for converting the consignment package into a storage case.
The present invention is also intended as a blank for a compact disc storage case consisting of a rectangular sheet which, as viewed from one of the short sides, is divided into a disc panel incorporating a disc mounting section provided with disc retaining tabs, at least one first folding panel and one second folding panel, with a closing flap attached to the second folding panel.
Compact discs are usually stored in rigid plastic cases of the 'jewel box' type, which are fragile and heavy, properties which are significant, for example, when mailing discs. Since the dimensions of such cases are standardised, many handling and storage systems are designed to suit them.
The terms consignment package, return consignment package and storage case are used in this document. A consignment package is defined as a package used, for example, to send a compact disc from a manufacturer or seller to a customer. If the customer is not satisfied with the disc, or has merely borrowed or rented it, the disc may be returned in the return consignment package. If the customer decides to retain the disc, the storage case may be used to store it at home.
A cardboard package and a blank for a compact disc package are described in US 5 101 973. The package in question is designed as a consignment package and storage case, the address label being attached to a part which is removed before the package is used for storage. The blank is rectangular and divided into four contiguous panels, the outermost panel being used to hold the disc and the other panels being folded around the disc and disc panel when the package is closed. The panel furthest from the disc panel is provided with an adhesive surface protected by a tape, which surface being used to secure the package when closed. Only the disc panel and about half of the adjoining panel are used when the package is used for storage purposes, the other panels being torn off.
A problem with the package described in the American patent is that, if required, the disc cannot be returned in the same package. Firstly, it is difficult to reclose the package once the adhesive surface has been used and, secondly, a new address must be written on the package after crossing out the original address or attempting to remove the original address label.
The purpose of the present invention is to enable one and the same package to be used as a consignment package, return consignment package and storage case.
The package described in the introduction to this document is characterised in that the sheet can be folded to form a return consignment package, the disc panel being folded in the opposite direction so that its rear side faces the first folding panel and the disc mounting section faces the second folding panel, and the closing flap being inserted in the other side of the first folding panel, and in that the sheet is provided with a linear perforation extending from one short side and to the other, outside the disc mounting section of the disc panel, forming the aforementioned removable strip.
The blank described in the introduction to this document is characterised in that it is provided with a linear perforation extending from one short side of the sheet to the other, outside the disc mounting section of the disc panel, forming a removable, longitudinal strip.
An advantage of the invention is that the disc is well protected, both when the package is used as a storage case, and as a consignment or return consignment package.
A practical example of the invention is described in further detail below with reference to the appended drawings, of which
Fig. 1 a shows the blank as described in the invention;
Fig. 1 b shows a cross-section of the disc mounting section;
Fig. 2 shows how the blank is folded to form a consignment package;
Fig. 2b shows how the blank is folded to form a return consignment package.
The blank illustrated in Fig. 1 a consists of a rectangular sheet of a material such as paper, corrugated board, cardboard or other cellulose-based material, or of a suitable plastic which is light and pliable. The sheet is divided into a disc panel 20 with a disc mounting section provided with disc retaining tabs 13, a first folding panel 21 and a second folding panel 22. A closing flap 23 is attached to the second folding panel 22.
A creasing rule 27 is provided between the disc panel 20 and the first folding panel 21. Two creasing rules 28 are provided between the first folding panel 21 and the second folding panel 22. Two creasing rules 29 are provided between the second folding panel 22 and the closing flap 23.
The disc mounting section is provided with a dished area 12 to accommodate the disc, the diameter of said area being slightly less than that of the disc to prevent contact between the information surface of the disc and the disc panel. The disc is held in position in the disc panel 20 with the aid of disc retaining tabs 13, which are formed by punching the disc panel and are designed to fit over the edge of the disc to hold it in position. When mounting a disc on the disc panel, the tabs are first bent upward to enable the disc to be placed in position and then lowered over the disc edge. The tabs may be raised by means of a simple tool provided with an element which is oriented at right-angles to the surface at the tabs and is used to press them upward. The position of the disc in relation to the dished section 12 and retaining tabs 13 is illustrated in Fig. l b.
A linear perforation 1 extends from one short side of the sheet to the other, outside the disc mounting section of the disc panel 20, forming a removable, longitudinal strip 10. A linear perforation should preferably be provided on each side of the disc mounting section to form two removable, longitudinal strips 10 and 1 1.
The first folding panel 21 is provided with a slit 24 to accommodate the closing flap 23. In this version, the slot is parallel to the short sides of the sheet. In addition, two shorter slits 25 extend from slit 24 in the direction of the disc panel 20, forming a tongue which facilitates the insertion of the closing flap 23 in the slit 24. The tongue is provided with a creasing rule 26 parallel to the slit 24 to enable the tongue to be raised easily. Fig. 2 illustrates the manner in which the sheet is folded into a consignment package. The disc panel 20 is folded in a first direction, in which the disc mounting section faces the first folding panel 21 and the rear side of the disc mounting section faces the second folding panel 22. In this case, the closing flap 23 is inserted in the side of the first folding panel opposite to the side of the sheet on which the disc is mounted.
Fig. 2b illustrates how the sheet is folded to form a return consignment package, the disc panel 20 being folded in the other direction so that its rear side faces the first folding panel and the disc mounting section faces the second folding panel 22, the closing flap 23 being inserted in the other side of the first folding panel, that is, on the same side A of the sheet on which the disc is mounted.
The address of the consignment is entered on the side of the removable strip which faces outward when the sheet is folded to form a consignment package. The return address may be entered on the other side of the removable strip, which can be detached to remove the addresses when the package is used as a storage case. The dimensions of the storage case are such that it can be stored in jewel box-type handling and storage systems.
It is possible to provide several contiguous folding panels so that the disc is enclosed in several layers of protective material. In this case, the additional folding panels must be located between the disc panel and the first folding panel to enable the package to be closed.
