  • Patent number: 6234306
    Abstract: An apparatus for the storage of disc sound and/or data carriers having a substantially rectangular flat housing that defines a receiving space that is accessible through a slot in one side of the housing. The housing also includes mutually oppositely disposed guide elements which receive a disc inserted through the slot and which keep it spaced from the housing surfaces. An ejection mechanism is mounted in the housing that includes a pivotally mounted lever arrangement. The ejection mechanism urges the disc through the slot such that it extends beyond the housing and may be grasped by a user. A braking and guide strip arrangement is provided in the flat housing adjacent to the slot opening. The strip arrangement extends over the width of the slot opening and includes at least two mutually and oppositely disposed strips. The spacing of the opposing strips is such that the center region of the slot opening has a spacing that is greater than the thickness of the disc.
