Abstract: A disc changer comprises a frame (1), a cassette holder (3) having a positioning surface (11) for a cassette comprising with a plurality of supports for a disc, in particular an optical disc, means (75, 87) for moving said supports out of and into the cassette, and retaining means (103, 117) for retaining a disc which has been moved out of the cassette. The disc changer comprises a motor driven cassette lift to produce a rectilinear axial movement of the cassette holder relative to the frame in a direction transverse to the positioning surface of the cassette holder to transfer the discs in the cassette to a predetermined plane. The cassette lift comprises a lift element (21) which is rotatably connected to the cassette holder and which is coupled to drive means (41), which lift element has an axis of rotation (31) extending transversely of said positioning surface.

Abstract: Storage case for a plurality of record carrier discs, in particular CD-singles, includes a housing (1) with a plurality of superposed plate-shaped tray bodies (3). The tray bodies each have a supporting surface (5) for supporting one of the discs, and for moving the discs into or out of the housing, they are each individually pivotable about a pivoting spindle (11). The housing has side walls (19, 21) and rugged partitions (37, 47) which extend parallel to said supporting surfaces to guide and support the tray bodies. At least one of the side walls (19) has an inwardly offset wall portion (35) which serves to minimize the dimensions of the partitions (37) for given outer dimensions of the housing.
