ABSTRACT:
A holder for plural data storage disks comprises a box-like enclosure having end walls and a bottom wall with aligned sets of channels to form plural slots for receiving multiple data storage disks supported side-by-side in the enclosure and held spaced apart from each other. The enclosure includes a movable cover member having a closure part to prevent inserting or removing a disk with respect to the enclosure and a selector part having a slot formed therein which may be aligned with a selected disk receiving slot in the enclosure to insert or remove the selected disk. The cover member may be latched in a closed position by a hinged connection between the closure part and the selector part which permits latching the selector part in a position of the closure part covering all of the disk slots in the enclosure. Cooperating detent projections and recesses on the enclosure and the cover member provide for positioning of the selector part align its slot with the desired disk storage slot to remove or insert the disk with respect to the enclosure.
