ABSTRACT:
A container for audio compact discs, CD-ROMs and other similarly-shaped articles having central holes used to secure the article therein and facilitate easy removal of the article therefrom. Multiple embodiments include a container having a disc-supporting base and a disc-enclosing lid, pivotally attached to each other. One end of a protruding member is pivotally attached to the base. The other end of the protruding member is free to rotate and is inserted through the central hole of the disc to be stored in the container. When the container is closed, one distinct section of the protruding member contacts the upper surface of the disc and another distinct section of the protruding member contacts the lower surface of the disc to support it and secure it in the container. Upon opening the container, vertical displacement of the protruding member automatically lifts the disc upwards off of the base, allowing easy access to the disc.
