Abstract

A binder housing multiple compact discs includes a hollow housing formed from two opposing housing portions interconnected at a common hinge line. The binder has an internal spine which spans the common hinge line and flexes between an untensioned position when the binder is closed to a tensioned position when the binder is opened. The internal spine includes a series of disc carriers which detachably engage the spine and when tensioned, the spine displays the disc carriers in a radial fashion.
