Abstract
A container for storing recording media, especially compact discs has a housing and at least one transport member for holding the recording media, the transport member being displaceable relative to the housing under the influence of a spring assembly from a storage position into an ejected position in which the recording medium is rendered accessible and being locked in the storage position by a manually releasable locking arrangement against the force of the spring assembly. The container also has covers associated with each transport member for closing the associated housing opening in the storage position of the transport members, the covers being individually moved out of registration with their transport members in response to ejection thereof whereby it is possible to remove and insert a recording media in a straight line. Each transport member also has an energy storage mechanism coupled thereto for driving the transport member automatically into the storage position after a predetermined partial manual inward displacement.
