Abstract: A disk receiving device for a storage cassette having a front covering part, a rear covering part and a disk receiving plate, for circular information disks, wherein on both sides of the disk receiving plate protruding T-shaped clamping elements are provided for clamping the circular information disks in the center hole of the information disks. The T-shaped clamping elements are disposed around a central opening in the disk receiving plate, comprising a base portion and two clamping portions integral with the basis portion. The T-shaped clamping elements extend vertically from the base portion in such a manner that the clamping portions protrude on both sides of the disk receiving plate essentially in a vertical direction relative to the disk receiving plate.

Abstract: A storage case for a disc-shaped information carrier such as a compact disc. The case has a receptacle member and a base, which is substantially fitted to the outline of the disc, inserted into the receptacle member. The base member is provided with a central retaining element which passes through the clearance in the center of a compact disc and has spring-catches developed as a locking element which overlap the inner edge of the clearance of the disc for securing the disc within the case. A push-button type release is provided for releasing the disc from the case. As the push button is pressed, finger-like lifting elements pivot on support arms to lift the compact disc above the central retaining element, and thereby freeing the compact disc from the case.
