ABSTRACT:
A system for storing and releasing a compact disc (CD) in storage unit, jewel box or other storage space The system includes a plurality of radially disposed clamp arms cantilevered about a raised area of a structure centrally located within a lower cover of the CD storage unit. CDs are pressed down over the clamp arms, causing detents to firmly hold the CD within the storage unit. A central button is provided for instantly releasing the CD from the insert-release system. The button actuates a crossed spring disposed below the CD. The spring includes outwardly extending legs, within which stresses are developed by pressing down on the central button prior to CD release. The central button eventually contacts the clamp arms to release the CD after stresses within the crossed spring are developed, causing the spring to pop the CD out from the insert-release system. In an alternative embodiment, the insert-release system is formed independently from a storage unit insert tray and is applied directly to the lower cover or to a cardboard liner.
