Abstract: The invention relates to a device for accommodating discoid information carriers, of hinge-opening conformation and provided with a support element for the information carrier. The device comprises at least one arrest key to fix the information carrier at least transverse to a plate plane. The arrest key is provided with an entry bevel to deflect an arrest part of the arrest key upon depression of the information carrier transverse to the plate plane. The information carrier is at least locally supported along its outer edge. In the area of the outer edge, there is an action upon the information carrier by the arrest key. At least one spring element acts upon the information carrier in the area of its edge with a force transverse to the plate plane. The spring element is arranged in the area of the arrest key. The arrest key, in an arrested condition, arrests both the information carrier and the tensed spring element.

Abstract: The device serves to hold disk-shaped storage elements and comprises a bottom shell and a top shell swingably connected to the bottom shell. The storage element is fixed on an insert part within a receptacle area. The spring element is arranged in the area of an outer edge of the receptacle area. Further, at a distance from the spring element along another portion of the outer edge of the receptacle area, at least one opposing element is so arranged that the storage medium is clampably arranged in the receptacle area between the spring element and the opposing element.
