ABSTRACT:
A bilateral media storage unit for storing and carrying CD ROMs, computer diskettes, removable disk storage devices and the like. The storage unit includes a discus shaped portable housing having a generally bowl shaped lower base component and a generally bowl shaped upper cover component which are coupled together at opposite points on their peripheries by selectively releasable hinges which pivotally couple the upper cover component to the lower base component and which release the upper cover component to pivot away from the lower base component when released. An accordion pleated extendable media receptacle is mounted within the portable housing. The accordion pleated extendable media receptacle includes a first group of extensible slots which are adapted to receive a first group of substantially planar storage media and a second group of extensible slots which are adapted to receive a second group of substantially planar storage media wherein the first group of extensible slots are extended in response to a pivoting of the upper cover component away from the lower base component in a first direction and wherein the second group of extensible slots are extended in response to a pivoting of the upper cover component away from the lower base component in a second direction.
