Abstract
Recordable medium disc (72) case (20) including bottom (22); base portion (30) integral with bottom (20) and retention member (58); lid (24) for movement with respect to bottom between a parallel closed position adjacent bottom and open angled position; primary disc tray (36) releasably retaining a disc having a cam member (66), the primary disc tray moving between parallel storage position and angled access position. At least one of retention (58) or cam (66) members being flexible. Initial opening movement of lid (22) draws primary tray (36) to access position where continued movement causes retention member (58) to abut cam member (66) and retain primary tray in access position allowing further movement of lid in isolation. Closing of lid moves cam member (66) relative to retention (58) to a position releasing primary tray from access position so primary tray and lid move together to storage and closed position.
