ABSTRACT:
A unit for providing easy manipulation of a compact disc case from a closed to open position and back, allowing simple access to the compact disc, requiring only one hand to operate. The unit clasps the compact disc case by means of four latches that engage four slots on the compact disc case cover. The four latches accept the compact disc case by a skewed face and engage the slots by a spring bias of the latches. The locked position allows easy opening of the compact disc case. The removal of the compact disc case from the unit is allowed by the beveled edge of the latches, forcing the latches to retract when the compact disc case is pulled in a direction lateral to the insertion of the compact disc case. By means of this structure, the compact disc case can be opened with one hand, allowing quick and easy acccess to the compact disc and the literature booklet. The advantages being a convenience in some circumstances and a neccessity in other circumstances (I.E. to a user operating an automobile, people lacking some manual dexterity and people limited to the use of one hand).
