Abstract:
1. A case for at least one recordable medium disc, the case including: a bottom; a base portion integrally formed with, or adapted to engage, the bottom and having a retention member; a lid adapted mounted for movement with respect to the bottom between a closed position substantially parallel and adjacent to the bottom and an open position angled with respect to the bottom; and a primary disc tray adapted to releasably retain a disc adjacent thereto and having a cam member, the primary disc tray adapted for movement relative to the bottom between a storage position substantially parallel and adjacent to the bottom and an access position angled with respect to the bottom; wherein at least one of the retention member or the cam member is resiliently flexible, whereby, when the lid is in the closed position, the lid and the primary disc tray are in an engaged abutting relationship and initial movement of the lid towards the open position draws the primary disc tray to the access position at which continued movement of the lid causes at least one of the cam member or the retention member to flex which allows movement of the cam member relative to the retention member into a position where the retention member abuts the cam member and retains the primary disc tray in the access position and where the primary disc tray disengages from the lid to allow further continued movement of the lid in isolation, and when the lid is in the open position and disengaged with the primary disc tray, initial movement of the lid towards the closed position abuttingly engages the lid with the primary disc tray and continued movement of the lid causes at least one of the cam member or the retention member to flex which allows movement of the cam member relative to the retention member to a position releasing the primary disc tray from the access position for movement together of the primary tray and the lid towards the storage and closed positions respectively.
