  • Patent number: 7121406
    Abstract: A device (1) for storing a plurality of protective cases (2) on a holding element (11). The protective cases (2) have an insertion opening (5) on one end face (4) for inserting flat information carriers (3), particularly CDs or DVDs, and a second face (16) resting at least partially on the holding element (11). To simplify the storage of the protective cases (2) and the removal or insertion of the information carriers (3), the holding element (11) has a tab (15) in an edge area, which engages with a recess (17) in the second face (16) of the protective cases (2), such that a corresponding protective case (2) can be pivoted from a storage position (9) into a removal position (10). In the removal position (10) the information carrier (3) can be removed from the protective case (2) without the necessity of detaching the protective case (2) from the holding element (11).
