ABSTRACT:
A container for an optical disc such as a compact disc (CD) or digital versatile disc (DVD) has a bottom structure, a top structure movable relative to the bottom structure, and a hub structure projecting up from the bottom structure. With the lid open, the central aperture of the disc is easily placed on or removed from the hub. In this condition the hub structure centers the disc in the bottom of the container but does not retain the disc in the container. When the lid is closed, however, the lid causes the hub structure to radially enlarge and secure the disc. Reopening the lid allows the hub to return to the condition in which it does not retain the disc.
