  • the subject of the invention is a postcard or a greeting card for accommodating a CD- ROM or a DND containing visual or auditory material with a particular subject matter (cities, sights, landscapes, music, verbal or written messages).
  • the invention belongs to the area B42D- 015/02-Postcards, greeting cards, menus, brochures, and so on.
  • the traditional postcard containing only one photograph or several smaller ones does no longer comply to the needs of the modern consumers.
  • This invention solves the technical problem of modernising and enrichening the traditional postcard with extra material and higher quality content that is today being offered in the world of information technology in the form of a CD-ROM or a DND which can store huge quantities not only of visual but also auditive material.
  • the invention solves the problem of making and forming the housing in the shape of the traditional postcard and which complies to all postal regulations regarding size, weight, stamp space, and so on.
  • a CD-ROM or a DND can be accomodated in the housing without any danger of getting damaged or falling out of it.
  • Background Art So far known housings, meaning boxes for packing and transport of CD-ROMs and DNDs are mostly based on the principle of inserting those media into boxes that prevent them being damaged or lost. For this way of packing fully to comply to the postal rules they need to be put into an extra envelope or wrapping onto which you put a stamp and the receiver's address. This complex way of packing is not very cost-effective and it does not contain visual messages like traditional postcards to which big part of civilization feels nostalgically related.
  • the housing of the postcard is made out of two solid, straight, rectangular boards of the same size or the same or different height having the length and width of the standard postcard.
  • Lower, base board is a full board, while the top one is not and it has a hole the size and the shape of a CD-ROM that is being placed in the housing.
  • the top board with the hole equals in height to the CD-ROM. It is glued to the base board and it combines into a bed for a CD-ROM. In the middle of the bed an elastic button is glued onto the base board. It is just as high as a CD-ROM, and its diameter exceedes just a bit the diameter of the CD-ROM's central hole.
  • CD-ROM is placed into bed by being pushed onto the elastic button with its central hole.
  • the button prevents the CD-ROM from falling out of bed or rotating.
  • the top side of the housing is being closed.
  • Closing can be made by gluing a nontransparent cover board, the visible topside of which is covered with a photograph, a drawing, or some other graphic. Closing can also be made by gluing a transparent folio over the painted top side of the housing made by upper surface of the upper board, CD-ROM surface, and the upper surface of the elastic button.
  • One more way to close the postcard is by pulling over a transparent folio with side guides over the painted upper surface of the housing or over the inserted nontransparent cover board, the visible upper side of which is covered with photograph, a drawing or some other graphic.
  • CD-ROM is being taken out of the postcard by taking off the glued nontransparent cover board or transparent folio or their circle over the CD-ROM marked with holes for tearing or by pulling off the transparent folio with side guides.
  • This invention is a multipurpose product having characteristics of packaging - means, shipment and a traditional postcard. Regarding its visual and informational content this product has a character of a multimedia postcard.
  • Fig. 1 shows the base and the upper board of the postcard's housing before gluing.
  • Fig. 2 shows the CD-Rom being inserted into the bed of the housing.
  • Fig. 3 shows the upper surface of the housing with the inserted CD-ROM which is being closed by transparent folio for gluing or transparent folio for pulling over the postcard.
  • Fig. 4 shows the upper surface of the postcard with the inserted CD-ROM which is being closed by gluing a nontransparent cover board the top side of which is covered with a photograph.
  • Fig. 5 shows the lower surface of the postcard, and it is graphically designed as a standard postcard with fields for the stamp, receiver's address and the message.
  • the postcard consists of two-part housing with an elastic button, CD-ROM and one or more cover elements.
  • the housing consists of two solid, straight, rectangular boards of the same size and the same or different height, having the width and the length of the standard postcards.
  • the lower, base board 1 is a full board, and the upper, hollow board 2 has a hole 3 the diameter of which is a bit bigger than the diameter of a CD-ROM 4 which is being put into the housing.
  • Upper board 2 equals in height the CD-ROM 4, and it is glued to the base board 1 thus making a bed 5 for the CD-ROM 4. In the middle of the bed 5 there is an elastic button 6 glued to the base board 1.
  • the height of the elastic button 6 equals the height of the CD-ROM 4, and its diameter is a bit bigger than the one of the central hole 7 of the CD-ROM 4.
  • CD-ROM 4 is placed into the bed 5 by being pushed onto the elastic button 6 with its central hole 7. The button 6 prevents the CD-ROM 4 from falling out of bed 5 or rotating.
  • the described realization of the housing with one bed for one CD-ROM in the center of the postcard can generally be expanded to housings with non centered beds or housings with two or more CD-ROMs.
  • Accommodating two or more CD-ROMs can be achieved by making bigger housings with two or more beds for smaller diameter CD-ROMs lined on one plane, or by making housings with one or more beds for two or more CD-ROMs placed one above the other on two or more planes.
  • the lower surface 8 of the housing's base board 1 can graphically be designed as the standard postcard with fields for receiver's address, stamp and the message before or after being glued to the upper board 2.

Closing of the CD-ROM 4 in the bed 5 is being done by one or more cover elements, be it nontransparent boards and/or transparent folios that are glued or pulled over the housing with the CD-ROM.
  • one surface of the CD-ROM 4 and the upper surface of the elastic button 6 can be made by gluing a transparent folio 9a or pulling over a transparent folio 9b with side guides 10 onto the upper surface of the housing. Closing with the help of the transparent folio 9b with side guides 10 enables an insertion under the transparent folio 9b of another flat element with one or both sides painted, and thus enable the choice of the visual display of the postcard.
