Abstract (en)

[origin: WO02082443A2] The invention relates to a protective case for a disc-shaped data carrier having a circular profile. Said protective case comprises a bottom plate and a top plate that, between them, enclose a holding space, which is delimited by lateral walls, provided for holding the data carrier, and which can be accessed via an insertion slot provided in a face of the protective case. Guides for the data carrier are provided in the lateral walls whereby permitting the data carrier to be stored inside the protective case at least at a distance from the bottom plate. A recess, which opens into the insertion-side face and which is provided for grasping the data carrier, is provided in the top plate. The aim of the invention is to further develop a protective case of the aforementioned type whereby making it possible to accommodate booklets or other inserts while retaining the advantages of said protective case. To this end, the invention provides that the guide (5), in the lateral walls (3) that border the insertion slot (6) on both sides, has discontinuations (11), which are located in an area immediately behind the edge of the insertion slot (6), whereby creating an access for inserting a booklet (13) or another insert into the space formed between the guide (5) and the bottom plate (1).
