Abstract
Abstract A disk record container (10) comprises first and second plates (11, 12) respectively having circular recesses (R1, R2) for receiving a phonograph or video disk (25) therebetween. An annular recess (A1, A2) is made on each of the bottom of the circular recess of each plate so that the sound groove portion on each side of a disk does not abut on the first and second plates (11, 12). Additional recesses (16, 16') are provided around the circular recess (R1, R2) of each of the first and second plates (11, 12) for making it easy to take out and put a disk (25) without touching the sound groove portion. The first and second plates (11, 12) are connected by a transparent film (22) which has a bendable center band portion (22C) so that the first and second plates (11, 12) are in contact when the container (10) is closed. A plurality of like plates may be added between the first and second plates for containing more disks. The transparent film (22) is attached to the first and second plates at three peripheral edges of each of the plates so that at least a sheet of paper (24) can be inserted in a pocket (23) defined by the back of each plate and the film.
