ABSTRACT:
A compact disc removal tool for removing a compact disc from holding tabs in its carrying case, for transporting the disc to a compact disc player machine, and for replacement of the disc in its carrying case. The tool consists of a pair of longitudinally aligned, oppositely directed elongated arms having at their opposite distal ends outstanding cupped fingers adapted to encompass opposite sides of a compact disc, the arms connected at the point proximate each other to a central body split ring oriented transversely to the longitudinal direction of the arms. Centrally located on the removal tool on each arm proximal end for disengaging the carrying case disc holding tabs is a partial circular arc ridge adapted to engage the disc circular face, an adjacent circular arc depression, and a vertical circular wall interposed the ridge and the depression. The split ring, when grasped and compressed over a compact disc in its carrying case, causes the cupped fingers to engage opposite sides of the compact disc while the circular walls simultaneously engage the carrying case holding tabs to release their hold upon the centrally located opening of the compact disc. With the release of the disc by the holding tabs, the disc is easily removed from its position in the holding case.
