Abstract
A molded plastic tray has a cover with a spline attached to the tray. A latch carried on a leaf spring is connected to the tray opposite the cover spline to hold edges of the cover. The latch-carrying leaf spring snaps inward to retain the cover closed and snaps outward to release the cover. Both top and bottom covers open so that the booklet can be removed from the bottom, and so that fingers may be extended through large corner openings in the tray to assist the removal of the compact disc. The cover has top and bottom rectangular panels hinged to a spline section of the cover. The spline section has holes which receive pins for connecting an overlying connector clip to fix the spline to the rear wall of the tray. Several splines may be hinged together between the panels so that several trays may be positioned between the top and bottom panels.
