ABSTRACT:
A new automatic storage media release mechanism for a storage media package and storage device, especially useful in packages for disc-shaped storage media such as compact and digital video disc packages, selectively holds and releases the storage media in response to an interference between fingers of a disc holding device and another component of the package. The mechanism releases the disc when a carrier plate is extended from the package. The mechanism can also be configured to release the disc when the cover of the package is opened. Alternatively, the mechanism can simply reduce the force required to remove the disc from the disc holding device when the cover is opened.
