ABSTRACT:
A wallet style compact disc storage unit (10) includes an enclosing case (12) and an interior structure (14) adapted to releasably hold a plurality of compact discs (16). The enclosing case (12) includes a clamshell structure including a first shell member (22) and a second shell member (24), each having corresponding cushions (40,42), are connected by a living hinge (26) and releasably secured by a slide latch (28). The interior structure (14) includes an even plurality of disc receiving plates (56) formed in four plate modules (58) with each plate (56) being adapted to support one of the compact discs (16) in a releasable manner. Adjacent pairs of plates (56) are hingedly connected by alternating first hinges (104) and second hinges (106) to require accordion type folding of the respective plates (56). Pretensioning of the interior structure (14) and alternating opposingly biased hinge structures cause the plates (56) to precess with a distinctive "flipping" motion to conveniently present the discs (6) to the user for viewing and removal.
