The invention further relates to a storage and sales envelope, in particular for a game set of the type mentioned, which are characterized in that the shell has a rectangular base and a likewise rectangular lid, which are connected along a cover side by a hinge and by a Form-locking and / or non-positively acting closure can be fixed to each other, wherein the game pieces and / or the dice are arranged in a running along a rectangle side, separate receiving space in the interior of the shell.

According to the state of the art (see EP 0 929 074 A1 or EP 1 047 076 A2) storage and sales envelopes for CD or DVD are known, which are provided along the hinge joint with a receiving space for receiving perfume bodies or other promotional accessories. However, these accessories remain permanently in this recording room, so that this z. B. for the placement of tokens, would not be accessible. It was therefore an object of the invention to further develop the hinged storage and sales envelope for CD or DVD to the effect that the receiving space for the reception of accessible at any time, z. B. of dice or game pieces is suitable for a multimedia game.

A first embodiment of the storage and sales envelope according to the invention provides, for example, that the separation of the receiving space from the remaining interior of the sleeve is formed by a folded-up edge of an inserted into the shell rigid surface element. This allows the actual CD or DVD case remain unchanged. The separation of the receiving space is namely formed by the inserted into the shell insert.

An alternative embodiment of the storage and sales envelope provides that the separation of the receiving space from the rest of the interior of the shell by parallel to a rectangular side walls running, the

Components of the base, the lid or arranged between the base and cover disc holder are. In this case, the separation of the

Accommodating space accomplished by these walls, which form a particularly permanent receiving space in cooperation with the base, the lid or the disk holder.

In order to provide additional storage space for components of the game set, it is further provided that additional receiving spaces are arranged in the remaining of the disk free corner regions of the shell, which are delimited from the rest of the interior of the shell by walls that are components of the base, the lid or the data carrier , In this way, located in the region of the corners of the shell, the disk-shaped data carriers remain free gusset of the interior of the shell are also used.

Particular advantages arise when the receiving space along the

Hinge opposite rectangular side of the envelope is arranged. In this arrangement, the receiving space does not need to take into account the presence and space requirements of the hinge.

Suitably, the receiving space is provided with a closure for repeated opening and closing. This ensures that the arranged in the receiving space parts of the play set can not be lost or fall out even when the case is opened.

A preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the closable receiving space has a drawer which can be pushed in from one end side. Such a drawer has the advantage that it has a has a large insertion depth and therefore is particularly safe to handle. The fact that in the storage and sales envelope according to the invention, the front sides of the receiving space are free and not hindered by the hinge parts, such a displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the receiving space drawer is particularly well possible.

Similar advantages arise when the closable receiving space has a sliding in the longitudinal direction of the receiving space sliding cover, which is also inserted over the end faces.

It is equally possible for the closable receiving space to have a hinged lid extending over its length, which is provided with the longitudinal edge of the receiving space via a film hinge. Also this film hinge can be arranged completely unhindered by cover hinge of the shell.

Finally, it is also possible to provide the closable receiving space with an extending over its length plug-in cover. Also, in the embodiment or arrangement of the plug cover does not need to be paid to any hinge parts between the base and lid when the lockable receiving space is disposed on the side facing away from the hinge.

Embodiments will be explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. Show it:
