Abstract
A holder for storing compact discs where each disc is contained within a conventional disc container uses a housing and anchoring means for the housing. The anchoring means is used to mount the housing in a motor vehicle. The housing contains partial partitions that are sufficiently large to hold said containers in a spaced apart parallel relationship from one another extending from front to rear of said housing when the disc containers are inserted into the housing through the front. The housing has retention means for each container to hold the containers within the housing when the containers are oriented with the groove towards the rear wall and towards the retention means. The retention means contacts a groove of each disc container and holds said container in said housing until the container is pulled out of said housing so that the retention means automatically releases itself from said disc container. When the holder is used in a motor vehicle, when desired, the housing can easily be removed from the anchoring means and removed from the vehicle. Alternatively, the housing could be removed from the anchoring means but stored in the trunk or glove box of the vehicle.
