A CD case has a drawer which may be pulled out by a handle for access to a CD. The drawer can be easily inserted during production, and multiple drawers can be stacked in stable manner. A front wall engages in a groove in a drawer stacked on top of it to provide stability. A CD is retained in a seat by a retainer having opposed gripping retainer elements. A CD is released by a user pressing a button, causing arm branches to pull together because of configuration of a resilient anchorage.

Case for a disc-like article

A DVD case () is of integral one-part moulded plastics construction. A retainer () has two opposed retainer parts () having lips () for engagement of a DVD at opposed sides of its central aperture. The DVD is released by the parts () being moved closer together. However there is no need for the user to press them directly. He or she simply presses a push-button () at the edge of the seat, causing the parts () to move together in a simple action caused by an integrally moulded release mechanism ().

Case for holding a disc-shaped article

A case stores CDs in a drawer which slides out from between an upper cover and a lower cover. The drawer has a handle projecting forwardly from the covers and which can be easily gripped by a user. A CD retainer in the drawer has a lip which grips a CD by snap-fitting over a side edge of the central aperture of the CD. The grip is released by the user simply pressing a push button, causing longitudinal movement of the retainer because it is on an arm extending between the button and a resilient anchorage.
