Storage case for a compact disc

摘要

A storage case ( 1 ) for a compact disc ( 2 ) comprises an outer shell ( 4 ) within which an inner carrier ( 5 ) for storing the compact disc ( 2 ) is slideable between an open and a closed position. The compact disc ( 2 ) is stored in a disc storing area ( 20 ) between a lower support plate ( 15 ) and an upper retaining member ( 19 ) of the inner carrier ( 5 ). Guide plates ( 25, 26 ) slideably guide the compact disc ( 2 ) into and out of the disc storing area ( 20 ). Resilient disc engaging clips ( 30 ) on a rear end wall ( 17 ) of the inner carrier ( 5 ) resiliently urges the compact disc ( 2 ) against corresponding abutment members ( 33 ) on the front end wall ( 16 ) for securing the compact disc ( 2 ) against sideward sliding from the disc storing area ( 20 ). The combination of the disc engaging clips ( 30 ) and the guide plates ( 25, 26 ) avoid the need for a central locating spigot for engaging a central opening of the compact disc ( 2 ).
