Abstract:
A disc holder for retaining a disc having an edge defining a radius of curvature, comprising:a rear planar panel having opposite first and second surfaces, the first surface of said rear panel supporting the disc thereon when the disc is inserted within said disc holder;a first side retention section secured in overlying relation with respect to the first surface of the rear panel adjacent a first edge thereof, said first side retention section having a first cut-out portion which defines a first curved edge that substantially corresponds to at least a portion of the disc edge;a second side retention section secured in overlying relation with respect to the first surface of the rear panel adjacent a second edge thereof, said second side retention section having a second cut-out portion which defines a second curved edge that substantially corresponds to at least a portion of the disc edge;wherein said first and second curved edges being spaced apart by a distance at all positions thereon which is greater than a diameter of the disc so as not to overlie the disc, while effectively preventing lateral movement of the disc, andwherein each of the first and second side retention sections includes first and second panel sections, said first and second panel sections of said first side retention section having cut-out portions in superposed relation that define said first curved edge, and said first and second panel sections of said second side retention section having cut-out portions in superposed relation that define said second curved edge.
