ABSTRACT:
A container for storing compact disks and the like includes a box shaped base member that defines an open top and open front cavity for housing compact disks as the disks stand with their bottom edge engaging a floor of the cavity. A front panel closes the lower portion of front of the cavity. The front panel is pivoted adjacent to the floor of the cavity and carries a latch member at the top edge of the front panel. A mechanical detent provides two stable positions for the front panel, one position being a closed position and the other position being a pivoted open position. A generally L-shaped cover closes both the remainder of the cavity front and the cavity top. The bottom edge of the cover contains a slot that cooperates with the latch on the front panel, so as to lock the cover in a closed position. When the cover is so latched, a spring bias means is loaded to subsequently open the cover when the latch is manually released from the slot in the cover. The cover is slidably mounted to the two side walls of the cavity, each side wall of which contains an inverted U-shaped track and an elongated vertical groove. Cover movement is guided by these U-shaped tracks and vertical grooves.
