Abstract
A data disc storage case for holding a data disc has a body including a pair of panels inter-connected for pivoting apart and close together, one of the panels incorporating a disc locator. The locator includes a platform for supporting a disc having a recess, and an integral hooking device extending across opposite sides of the recess for engaging the disc through its central hole. The hooking device includes two hook members having respective upper ends as hooks facing outwards to engage hole disc and respective lower ends connected integrally to the opposite sides of the recess and an integral press member connected to and between the hook members, so that upon depression, the hook members pivot slightly inwards about their lower ends, so the hooks retract for disengagement from the disc and release the disc.
