Abstract
Description
- 1. Technical Field
- This present specification relates to optical disc packaging and, more specifically, to optical disc packages incorporating items such as promotional vials, fragrance atomizers, or other goods.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Optical discs such as prerecorded compact discs (“CDs”) typically are sold in a “jewel box” or “jewel case” that is a clam-shell container made of relatively hard, transparent, molded plastic material.
FIG. 2 is an example of a conventional jewel case 20 commonly comprises three attachable sections: aback portion 21, a lid portion 22 and amedia tray 24. Each section is generally made of transparent and ridged polystyrene, although themedia tray 24 is sometimes made of opaque flexible polystyrene. The lid portion 22 has twotabs 23 that hingedly connect with theback portion 21 such that the lid portion 22 may open and close over theback portion 21. Themedia tray 24 is inserted into theback portion 21. Themedia tray 24 may have a disc shapeddepression 25 for accommodating a disc and acenter hub 26 for securing the disc. The surfaces of the media tray that are not part of thedepression 25 are raised. Abridge section 27 is raised even further so that it may be flush with the surface of the lid 22 when it is in a closed position. A hollow space is therefore created between thebridge 27 and theback portion 21. - In some cases, cardboard-packaged CDs are distributed, and there is a variety of cardboard package configurations. Such packaging is sometimes used for mailing CDs, or for CDs that are bulk-packaged.
- Some performing artists or other famous personalities develop and market their own lines of fragrances and other products. Consumers who favor such personalities and buy their CDs might be inclined to purchase their fragrances as well. Providing potential customers with a free sample of a fragrance has long been an effective method for promoting the sale of commercially available fragrances. Generally, marketers may stand in department stores and distribute small vials or atomizers of fragrance to potential customers. While this method of promoting fragrances has proven effective, providing samples of an artist's fragrance to customers who purchase the artist's CDs may allow for enhanced targeting of likely customers. Accordingly, it would be beneficial to utilize a system for inexpensively distributing free samples of fragrance to customers who are likely to purchase CDs.
- The typical jewel case for a CD has a hollow space that sometimes is used for various purposes. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,850,912, to Ganser et al., proposes using the hollow space to accommodate a closed reservoir that is filled with a substance. U.S. Pat. No. 5,893,455, to Biedebach et al. proposes using the hollow space to accommodate a three-dimensional object. In each of these patents, the object placed in the hollow space must be placed prior to the final assembly of the jewel case. Once the jewel case has been assembled, the object placed within the hollow space is permanently scaled as the jewel case is not designed to be disassembled by the user. Such jewel cases are not believed to be convenient for accommodating a fragrance sample within the hollow space because such hollow spaces are not easily accessible to the user. U.S. Pat. No. 5,971,143, to Yoshioka, proposes a jewel case where the hollow space is topped with a pivotable lid. The hollow space is compartmentalized and different kinds of filling members, for example fragrant filling, are placed within the various compartments. Such a jewel case would be expensive to manufacture and also does not appear to be convenient for user access. Another example of an optical disc enclosure is a digipack. The digipack comprises a folded cardboard section where a media tray is glued to one of the inner surfaces. U.S. Pat. No. 6,938,832, to Sada, relates to an optical disc enclosure incorporating a “scent strip” on its outer face. Such an optical disc enclosure suffers from the disadvantage of being irregularly shaped. Therefore, additional costs would be associated with the enclosure's handling as the scent strip may perforate, releasing the fragrance potentially damaging shipping equipment and retail space.
- An enclosure for a CD or a similarly shaped optical disc is made of an easily foldable material such as cardboard and includes a cover panel integrally formed with a media panel. The panels are delineated by a single or double fold forming a spine between them. The single or double fold allows the cover panel and the media panel to be opened and closed like a book. An affixing unit removably holds the disc to the media panel. A securing unit secures a vial or atomizer to the inner-facing surfaces of the cover panel, media panel or spine.
- An alternative enclosure for a CD or a similarly shaped optical disc includes a lid unit hingedly connected to a back unit. A raised media tray is attached to and partially lines an inner surface of the back unit. The raised media tray secures the disc. The raised media tray has a footprint that is smaller than a footprint of the back unit such that an open-topped hollow cavity is formed in the space on the inner surface of the back unit that is not lined by the raised media tray. A shaped insert accommodates a vial or atomizer. The shaped insert is removably disposed within the open-topped hollow cavity.
- A more complete appreciation of the present disclosure and many of its attendant advantages will be readily obtained as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein:

-
FIG. 1A is a plan view of an enclosure for an optical disc or the like along with a small vial or atomizer that may be used to contain a fragrance sample. Theenclosure 10 may be made of a single, integral, folded or hinged sheet blank 11 that may be paper, cardboard, plastic, or another suitable material. Thesheet 11 may be single or double folded to create aspine 14 and may thereby open and close like a book. When closed, those surfaces of thesheet 11 that face each other are the inner-facing surfaces while those surfaces of the sheet that face away from each other are the outer-facing surfaces. On the inner-facing surface of a media panel of thesheet 11 a ahub 12 may be attached. The hub may be made of hard polystyrene as seen in traditional jewel cases or may be made of a soft material such as foam or another suitable material. Anoptical disc 13 can be stored within theenclosure 10 and secured in place by thehub 12 as thehub 12 grips theoptical disc 13 by its center hole. Thehub 12 may be attached to the inner-facing surface of the media panel of thesheet 11 a, for example with an adhesive. A securing means 16, e.g., in the form of a pocket or compartment that is integral with blank 1, may secure a vial oratomizer 15 to thesheet 11. For example, the securing means 16 may comprise two or more slits within thesheet 11 such that a portion of thespine 14 located between the slits folds inwardly while the remainder of the spine folds outwardly, thereby defining a pocket or compartment within which the vial oratomizer 15 may be placed. Alternatively, another suitable securing means may be affixed to thesheet 11. For example, one or more loops of paper, cardboard or plastic may be affixed to thesheet 11 to hold avial 15 in place. According to one embodiment, the securing means 16 may be formed near or at thespine 14 and/or near or at acover panel 11 b of thesheet 11. Alternatively, the securing means may be affixed to another location at the periphery of thesheet 11 such that its placement does not obstruct the closing of theenclosure 10 or press against theoptical disc 13. -
FIG. 1B illustrates the enclosure ofFIG. 1A in perspective view, minus the vial or atomizer. The securing means 16 can comprise two slits, a top slit 16 a and abottom slit 16 b that may extend across thespine 14 and may extend beyond thespine 14, intopanel 11 b as shown, and/or intopanel 11 a (not shown). -
FIG. 1C is otherwise similar toFIG. 1B but illustratesatomizer 15 as inserted into the first slit 16 a and back out of thesecond slit 16 b such that theatomizer 15 is held in place by tension and friction. The two longitudinal ends and anelongated atomizer 15 are seen in this view, while the intermediate portion is behind aportion 16 ofspine 14 that is folded forward, toward the free ends ofpanels -
FIG. 1D illustrates the enclosure as seen from the outside ofpanels FIG. 1C . InFIG. 1D . In this view, the middle-section of theatomizer 15 is seen; the longitudinal ends are behindspine 14. - The
enclosure 10 ofFIG. 1A can be reinforced.FIG. 1E illustrates a blank from which a reinforcedenclosure 10 can be formed. The reinforcingpanels sheet 11 and may be folded and secured to the remainder of thesheet 11 for added reinforcement. The reinforcingpanels panel 16, that folds over the media panel of thesheet 11 a, may contain ahole 18 that is large enough to allow the hub to pass through. Alternatively, the hub may be affixed to the back of the first reinforcingpanel 16. When folded inwardly, a second reinforcingpanel 17 may have acutout 19 that is large enough to allow the securing means 16 to pass thorough when it is folded over the cover panel of thesheet 11 b. Alternatively, the securing means 16 may be affixed to the second reinforcingpanel 17. In other embodiments, the reinforcing panels may fold down from the top, up from the bottom, or be formed from separate sheets. - Various versions of the optical disc enclosure seen in
FIGS. 1A-1E are contemplated to ideally suit various purposes. For example, theenclosure 10 may be made without the reinforcing panels. Thehub 12 may be omitted and the disc may be supported by a sleeve or pocket or a portion of a non-permanent adhesive such as a rubber cement or the like thereby allowing the optical disc to be held in place and later removed substantially free from the adhesive. In some used of the disclosed disc enclosure, it may not be necessary to reattach disc after it has been removed. Such modifications to the design of theenclosure 10 may further reduce its cost of manufacture. Such an embodiment may be especially suited for use as a free promotional package including a fragrance sample and an optical disc. - The
enclosure 10 may be large enough to accommodate a standard 120 mm optical disc. Alternatively, theenclosure 10 may be made smaller to accommodate 80 mm mini-CDs, truncated 80 mm mini-CDs (for example 80 mm mini-CDs with a 60 mm short axis), and/or optical discs of any size. - The
enclosure 10 may be made to accommodate a medium other than an optical disc. Examples of other suitable media include, but are not limited to: magneto-optical discs, floppy disks, flash memory cards, smart cards, or any other computer-readable media. - According to other embodiments of the present disclosure, the design of a standard jewel case may be modified to accommodate a vial or atomizer containing a fragrance sample.
FIG. 3 is an example of an optical disc enclosure according to another embodiment. Theoptical disc enclosure 30 comprises three primary parts: aback portion 31, alid portion 32, and amedia tray 34. Theback portion 31 and thelid portion 32 may be substantially identical to the corresponding portions of the conventional jewel case and may be made of transparent ridged polystyrene and/or any other suitable material. Thelid portion 32 may be hingedly connected to theback portion 31, for example, according to known jewel case designs. Themedia tray 34 may be made of transparent ridged polystyrene, flexible opaque polystyrene, and/or any other suitable material. Themedia tray 34 may lack a raisedbridge section 27 used in a conventional jewel case (FIG. 2 ). Accordingly, the footprint of themedia tray 34 is smaller than the footprint of theback portion 31. When the media tray is attached to the back portion 31 (as seen inFIG. 4 ) an open-topped hollow cavity is formed 37 in the space on the inner surface of the back portion that is not covered by the raisedmedia tray 34. - A shaped
insert 38 is provided for securely accommodating a vial oratomizer 39 for containing a fragrance sample. Accordingly, the vial oratomizer 39 may be inserted into the shapedinsert 38 and the shapedinsert 38 containing the vial oratomizer 39 may be removably secured into the open-topped hollow cavity. The shaped insert 28 may be made of transparent ridged polystyrene or another suitable material and may have an opening for receiving and holding in place the vial oratomizer 39. The shaped insert 28 may have a flat top that is flush with the top surface of the lid portion when the shaped insert 28 is inserted into the open-toppedhollow cavity 37 and thelid portion 32 is in the closed position. This feature allows the assembledenclosure 30 to have the same outward size and shape as a conventional jewel case. The opening of the shaped insert may be at its bottom or at its side. -
FIG. 5 illustrates the optical disc enclosure ofFIGS. 3 and 4 when the vial oratomizer 39 has been inserted into the shapedinsert 38 and the shapedinsert 38 has been inserted into the open-toppedhollow cavity 37. In this stage of assembly, the vial oratomizer 39 is held immobilized to allow for handling and transport without risk of breaking. The shapedinsert 38 may be inserted and removed from the open-toppedhollow cavity 37 by the user as desired. - Because the shaped insert is removable, means may be utilized for preventing the shaped insert from inadvertently falling out. The shaped insert may be prevented form inadvertently falling out by the shrink-wrapping that customarily protects jewel cases prior to retail sale. Additionally, means may be used to prevent the shaped insert from inadvertently falling out even after the shrink-wrapping has been removed.
FIG. 6 shows one example of such a means according to an embodiment of the present invention. Here, the shapedinsert 38 is formed to have astructure 40 for accommodating and immobilizing the vial oratomizer 39.
