Compact disk (CD) storage case and method for storing a CD

Abstract

A method for storing a disk comprising providing a disk having a disk opening, providing a disk storage container having a base with a disk recess and a hub generally concentrically disposed in the disk recess, and disengaging an end side of a lid from a rear channel of an upright rear wall attached to said base. The method for storing additionally comprises sliding opposed sides of the lid in side channels of opposed upright side walls attached to the base and to the upright rear wall, passing the hub of the disk recess through the disk opening of the disk, and resting the disk on a bottom of the disk recess for storing the disk. A disk storage assembly having a base including a structure defining a generally circular recess having a concentrically disposed hub, an upright rear wall attached to the base, and a pair of upright side walls attached to the base and to the upright rear wall with each side wall having a structure defining a side channel that communicates with the rear channel and is generally collimated therewith. A lid is slidably disposed in the side channels.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A method for storing a disk comprising: 
 providing a disk having a disk opening;    providing a disk storage container having a base with a disk recess and a hub generally concentrically disposed in said disk recess;    disengaging an end side of a lid from a rear channel of an upright rear wall attached to said base;    sliding opposed sides of the lid in side channels of opposed upright side walls attached to the base and to the upright rear wall;    passing the hub of the disk recess through the disk opening of the disk; and    resting the disk on a bottom of the disk recess for storing the disk.    
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  additionally comprising sliding opposed sides of the lid in said side channels of the opposed upright side wall until the end side of the lid lodges in the rear channel of an upright rear wall.  
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said disk comprises a CD.  
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 2  wherein said disk comprises a CD.  
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said disk is selected from a CD, a DVD, and a computer memory disk.  
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 2  wherein said disk is selected from a CD, a DVD, and a computer memory disk.  
     
     
         7 . A disk storage assembly comprising a base having a structure defining a generally circular recess having a concentrically disposed hub; an upright rear wall attached to the base and having a structure defining a rear channel; a pair of upright side walls attached to the base and to the upright rear wall with each side wall having a structure defining a side channel that communicates with the rear channel and is generally collimated therewith; a disk disposed in said circular recess; and a lid slidably disposed in said side channels and removable lodged in said rear channel.  
     
     
         8 . The disk storage assembly of  claim 7  wherein said lid comprises a depending lip for proving a handle.  
     
     
         9 . The disk storage assembly of  claim 7  wherein a contour of the recess is defined by a perimeter which is formed by a platform having a planar surface.  
     
     
         10 . The disk storage assembly of  claim 9  wherein a portion of the platform  44  forms an upright front wall.  
     
     
         11 . The disk storage assembly of  claim 10  wherein a portion of the planar surface of the platform form a bottom of the rear channel and of the side channels.  
     
     
         12 . A disk storage assembly comprising a base having a structure defining a generally circular recess having a concentrically disposed hub; an upright rear wall attached to the base; a pair of upright side walls attached to the base and to the upright rear wall with each side wall having a structure defining a side channel that communicates with the rear channel and is generally collimated therewith; and a lid slidably disposed in said side channels.  
     
     
         13 . The disk storage assembly of  claim 12  wherein said rear wall has a structure defining a rear channel.  
     
     
         14 . The disk storage assembly of  claim 13  additionally comprising a disk disposed in said recess.  
     
     
         15 . The disk storage assembly of  claim 14  wherein said disk is selected from a CD, a DVD, and a computer memory disk.
