ABSTRACT:
A new package and storage device for storage media, especially for discshaped pieces of storage media such as compact and digital versatile discs, includes a spring-biased carrier plate that extends from a side of the package to allow the use of a standard C-card. The package includes an automatic disc release mechanism that disengages the disc from a disc holding device when the carrier plate is extended and when the cover of the package is opened. The package uses a hinge that reduces the likelihood of hinge breakage and can actuate the automatic disc release mechanism. These results are achieved in part due to a new four-part construction of the package wherein the cover is hinged on a support plate, the support plate in turn being press-fit into a base plate. The support plate holds the carrier plate and includes components of guide and locking devices.
