A device for packaging at least one disc-shaped item comprising a storage device for the storage of said disc-shaped media in a chamber or cavity, which storage device may be attached to an object having at least one rigid or semi-rigid planar surface hingedly or removably attached to the remainder
A device for packaging at least one disc-shaped item comprising a storage device for the storage of said disc-shaped media in a chamber or cavity, which storage device may be attached to an object having at least one rigid or semi-rigid planar surface hingedly or removably attached to the remainder of the object, such as a book, folder or box. The chamber includes means for maintaining the disc media in a stable state within the chamber while limiting its linear movement. The storage device is attached to the rigid or semi-rigid planar surface through a hole in said surface, which hole corresponds to the shape of the media-retaining portion of the storage device. The storage device may be retained within the hole by means of a skirt running around the perimeter thereof, which skirt is adapted to engage the back of the rigid or semi-rigid member.

1. A device for packaging a storage media together with an object having at least one rigid or semi-rigid member, said member having a front surface and a back surface wherein said member is attached to the remainder of said object, said device comprising:at least one disc-shaped media having a central aperture therethrough; an opening provided through said rigid or semi-rigid member; and a storage platform having an upper portion and a lower portion, wherein said upper portion has a shape and size at a first point where said upper portion meets said lower portion which is complementary to said opening such that said upper portion may be inserted through said opening such that said lower portion at a second point where said lower portion meets said upper portion is in flush alignment with the back surface, said upper portion further including means for receiving and retaining said disc-shaped media, wherein said lower portion is larger in size at said second point than said upper portion such that said lower portion engages said back surface to thereby prevent said storage device from completely passing through said opening. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein said opening is circular and said upper portion is cylindrical in shape.3. The device of claim 1, wherein said object is selected from the group consisting of a book, a folder, a portfolio and a box.4. The device of claim 1, further including a cover adapted to engage said upper portion to thereby create a chamber within which said disc-shaped media may be secured.5. A device for packaging a storage media together with an object having at least one rigid or semi-rigid member, said member having a front surface and a back surface wherein said member is attached to the remainder of said object, said device comprising:at least one disc-shaped media having a central aperture therethrough; an opening provided through said rigid or semi-rigid member; a storage platform having an upper portion and a lower portion, wherein said upper portion has a shape and size at a first point where said upper portion meets said lower portion which is complementary to said opening such that said upper portion may be inserted through said opening such that said lower portion at a second point where said lower portion meets said upper portion is in flush alignment with the back surface, said upper portion further including means for receiving and retaining said disc-shaped media, wherein said lower portion is larger in size at said second point than said upper portion such that said lower portion engages said back surface to thereby prevent said storage device from completely passing through said opening; and a cover adapted to engage said upper portion to thereby create a chamber within which said disc-shaped media may be secured. 6. A device for packaging a storage media together with an object having at least one rigid or semi-rigid member, said member having a front surface and a back surface wherein said member is attached to the remainder of said object, said device comprising:at least one disc-shaped media having a central aperture therethrough; an opening provided through said rigid or semi-rigid member; and a storage platform having an upper portion and a lower portion, wherein said upper portion may be inserted through said opening and wherein said upper portion provides a platform upon which said disc-shaped media sits, said upper portion further including a cylindrical support structure disposed on said platform and adapted to receive said disc-shaped media through said central aperture, said support structure allowing said disc-shaped media to rotate freely, wherein said lower portion is larger in size than said upper portion such that said lower portion engages said back surface to thereby prevent said storage device from completely passing through said opening. 7. The packaging device of claim 6, wherein said support structure further includes at least one protrusion to retain said disc-shaped media upon said support structure, and wherein said support structure and said at least one protrusion are at least slightly flexible so as to allow said disc-shaped media to be snapped over said at least one protrusion and said support structure to thereby attach to and remove from said support structure.8. The packaging device of claim 7, further including at least one positioning member disposed on said lower portion, said positioning member being adapted to retain said storage device in place within said opening.9. The device of claim 8, further including a seal attached to said planar surface and said storage device.10. A device for packaging a storage media together with an object having at least one rigid or semi-rigid member, said member having a front surface and a back surface wherein said member is attached to the remainder of said object, said device comprising:at least one disc-shaped media having a central aperture therethrough; an opening provided through said rigid or semi-rigid member; a storage platform having an upper portion and a lower portion, wherein said upper portion may be inserted through said opening and wherein said upper portion provides a platform upon which said disc-shaped media sits, said upper portion further including a cylindrical support structure disposed on said platform and adapted to receive said disc-shaped media through said central aperture, said support structure allowing said disc-shaped media to rotate freely, wherein said support structure further includes at least one protrusion to retain said disc-shaped media upon said support structure, and wherein said support structure and said at least one protrusion are at least slightly flexible so as to allow said disc-shaped media to be snapped over said at least one protrusion and said support structure to thereby attach to and remove from said support structure, wherein said lower portion is larger in size than said upper portion such that said lower portion engages said back surface to thereby prevent said storage device from completely passing through said opening; and at least one positioning member disposed on said lower portion, said positioning member being adapted to retain said storage device in place within said opening. 11. A method for packaging a storage media together with an object having at least one rigid or semi-rigid planar member, said member being attached to the remainder of said object and having an opening extending entirely therethrough, said method comprising the steps of:providing at least one disc-shaped media having a central aperture therethrough; providing a storage platform having an upper portion and a lower portion, wherein said upper portion has a shape and size at a first point where said upper portion meets said lower portion which is complementary to said opening such that said upper portion may be inserted through said opening such that said lower portion at a second point where said lower portion meets said upper portion is in flush alignment with said back surface, said upper portion further including for receiving and retaining said disc-shaped media, wherein said lower portion is larger in size at said second point than said upper portion such that said lower portion engages said back surface to thereby prevent said storage device from completely passing through said opening; said upper portion of said storage device through said opening; positioning said disc-shaped media to means for receiving and retaining; removably attaching a cover to said upper portion.
