Easy see CD/DVD & mini-disc case

Abstract

A movable panel ( 12 ) for cases but more specifically media cases for compact discs, digital video discs and mini-discs. Said panel is co-planer with top ( 10 ) in first position and non co-planer in second position. The bottom of the case ( 14 ) has a longitudinal channel ( 16 ) on the inside of the bottom sidewall. Each of these longitudinal channels is at an angle from the bottom of the case at an approximate 45-degrees. The channels are approximately one half inch in length and rise from the bottom of the case to the edge of the sidewall. There are offset radiuses ( 18 ) at each end of the longitudinal channels. The movable panel has extensions ( 22 ) on the bottom back surface of the panel that protrude down approximately ¼ inch. At the bottom of each of the extensions is a pin ( 20 ). The material constructing the parts is a styrene or resin plastic currently used in the manufacture of the commonly referred to jewel box. In the current case for compact disc is included a separate part that actually holds the compact disc inside the container: the disc tray ( 24 ). The movable panel design described above could be applied to the disc tray by way of an extension of the sidewalls of the disc tray. The mini-disc case ( 26 ) has smaller dimensions than the compact disc case or jewel box. The design elements above would still have an application to the case however. The mini-disc movable panel ( 28 ) would be a smaller area but would provide a surface to identify the content, which would not be available without physically handling each case. The movable panel of the mini-disc would have extensions along the rear of the panel ( 30 ) one on each side. The opposing sidewalls of the case toward the leading edge would have a longitudinal channel that the extensions from the movable panel would interact with to form a co-planer first position and a non co-planer second position.

1 . A easy see content identification media container comprising: 
 a. top surface; bottom surface; sidewalls; first sidewall having first engagement feature; second sidewall having second engagement feature; a movable panel that operates between first position wherein said movable panel is co-planer with said top surface and a said second position where said panel is not co-planer with top position.    b. media tray a single surface with extended sidewalls; first sidewall having first engagement feature; second sidewall having second engagement feature, and a moveable panel that operates between first position wherein said movable panel is co-planer with said top surface and a said second position where said panel is not co-planer with top position.    c. a movable panel can be removed and replaced and can be produced in a variety of ways, shapes, colors, materials and present a surface for the application of various labels, shapes, colors and materials.
