a top wall connected to and extending between the side walls of the lid member;
a bottom wall connected to and extending between the side walls of the base section, said bottom wall and the top wall at least partially enclosing the interior region of the compact disc holder adjacent the lower segment thereof when the lid member is pivoted to the closed position;
at least one tab extending partially inwardly from the top edge of the raised segment of the base section; and
at least one tab extending inwardly from the bottom edge of the raised segment of the base section, said tab extending partially inwardly from the bottom edge of the raised segment of the base section continuously enclosing the interior region of the compact disc holder adjacent the raised segment thereof;
whereby at least one of the plurality of different compact disc display packages may be selectively inserted and received within the interior region of the compact disc holder adjacent the lower segment thereof when the lid member is in the open position, at least a portion of the compact disc display package being slidably receivable within the partially enclosed portion of the interior region of the base section adjacent the raised segment thereof, with the lid member being pivotable to the closed position and securable thereat.

Abstract
A compact disc security holder comprised of a base section and pivoting lid member connected to the base section by a hinge panel. The base section has side walls defining a compartment region with an open section and an enclosed section, the lid member having pivoting into alignment over the open section to thereby enclose it. The lid member has several flat depending barbs which engage within slots in the side walls of the base section. A pivotal retaining member defined by and hingedly connected to the bottom wall of the base section may be pivoted upwardly to engage the lid member and divide the compartment region into a pair of subcompartments each having different lengths.

16. A compact disc security holder to engagingly receive a first and a second compact disc display packages each having different dimensions, said compact disc security holder comprising:
-
a base section, said base section including a pair of opposing side walls and a pair of opposing end walls, each said end wall connected to and extending between each of said side walls, each said side wall defining a lower segment having a top edge and a bottom edge and a height measured therebetween, and a raised segment having a top edge and a bottom edge and a height measured therebetween which is greater than said height of said lower segment, said lower segment of each said side wall of said base section having a length, said side walls and said end walls of said base section defining an interior region of the compact disc security holder; a lid member, said lid member having a pair of opposing side walls, said side walls having a pair of opposing ends and a length measured therebetween, said lid member being hingedly connected to the base section adjacent one of the end walls thereof and being pivotable between a closed position whereat each of said side walls of said lid member closely confronts one of the side walls of the base section, and an open position generally displaced from said closed position, each said side wall of lid member having a length being generally displaced from said closed position, each said side wall of said lid member having a length being generally equal to or less than the length of the lower segment of the side wall of the base section confronting said side wall of said lid member when said lid member is pivoted to said closed position; securing means for engagingly securing the lid member in close confronting contact with the base section when the lid member is pivoted to the closed position; a top wall connected to and extending between the side walls of the lid member, said lid member defining a retaining aperture extending entirely therethrough; a bottom wall connected to and extending between the side walls of the base section, said bottom wall and the top wall at least partially enclosing the interior region of the compact disc holder adjacent the lower segment thereof when the lid member is pivoted to the closed position; at least one tab extending partially inwardly from the top edge of the raised segment of the base section; at least one tab extending partially inwardly from the bottom edge of the raised segment of the base section, said tab extending partially inwardly from the bottom edge of the raised segment of the base section and the tab extending partially inwardly from the top edge of the raised segment of the base section continuously enclosing the interior region of the compact disc holder adjacent the raised segment thereof; and a pivotal retaining member, said pivotal retaining member being defined by the bottom wall of the base section and being hingedly connected thereto along a first end, said pivotal retaining member having a length greater than the distance between the top wall and the bottom wall when the lid member is pivoted to the closed position, said pivotal retaining member further having a second end opposing said first end and being aligned with and engagingly received within the retaining aperture in the top wall of the lid member when the pivotal retaining member is pivoted to a retaining position generally perpendicular to the bottom wall and the lid member is pivoted to the closed position, such that the pivotal retaining member extends between the top wall of the lid member and the bottom wall of the base section so as to divide the interior region of the compact disc security holder into a first subcompartment and a second subcompartment, said first subcompartment corresponding to the dimensions of the second of the compact disc display packages, whereby the first compact disc display package may be selectively inserted and received within the interior region of the compact disc holder adjacent the lower segment thereof when the lid member is in the open position, at least a portion of the first compact disc display package being slidably receivable within the partially enclosed portion of interior region of the base section adjacent the raised segment thereof, with the pivotal retaining member being pivoted to the retaining position and the second compact disc display package being inserted and received within the base section such that the pivotal retaining member separates the first compact disc display package from the second compact disc display package, with the lid member being pivoted to the closed position and secured thereat with the pivotal member being engagingly received within the retaining aperture in the lid member.
