ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is an insertion type compact disc case which is designed to simultaneously push forward opposite sides of a rear periphery of a disc, received in a case body, thereby securing safe and accurate discharge of the disc. The disc case comprises a case body internally defining a square receiving space, into and from which a circular compact disc is inserted and discharged through an opening formed at a front surface thereof, a pair of elongated slits laterally formed at a rear surface of the case body, and a pair of discharge operating cam plates symmetrically arranged at both lateral positions in a rear region of the receiving space in correspondence to both the elongated slits so that they are laterally movable along guide units. Rear portions of the discharge operating cam plates protrude outward beyond the elongated slits so as to be exposed to the outside, respectively. When the discharge operating cam plates are laterally moved so as to approach each other according to manual operation of the outwardly protruding rear portions thereof, inner peripheral surfaces of the discharge operating cam plates push opposite sides of a rear periphery of the disc forward, thereby discharging the disc to the outside. The disc case further comprises a pair of locking units symmetrically arranged at both sides of the receiving space for holding both sides of the received disc.
