Abstract
A modular, portable apparatus for storing and carrying a plurality of disc shaped recording media has a housing including a lower base component and an upper cover component. The lower base component and the upper cover component are pivotally coupled. Slots within the housing retain a plurality of disc shaped recording media in a plurality of parallel adjacent positions. A disc selector selects and automatically retains a particular one of said plurality of disc shaped recording media within the upper cover component while the remainder of said plurality of disc shaped recording media remain within said lower base component during pivotal movement of said upper cover component with respect to said lower base component. A connecting device on each of the two ends of the housing is adapted to selectively couple the modular apparatus to either an end of another identical modular apparatus or a carrying device for carrying the modular apparatus. Thus, a selected plurality of modular apparatuses can be selectively coupled together and to the carrying device to allow convenient carrying of said selected plurality of modular apparatuses.
