Abstract
A cover for a rectangular enclosure is pivoted to the rectangular base at the front, swings rearwardly-downwardly and engages the back of the base. A CD drive installed in the base is accessible from one side. For the purpose of inserting CDs and providing access for CD controls and jacks, a base window is formed in the side of the base and its edges are framed with a bezel which projects slightly outward from the base side. The cover has a cover window in one side congruent to the base window but spaced outward so that, as the cover is swung closed, the cover window is displaced outwardly relative to the bezel and the bezel does not interfere with closing the cover.
