Abstract
A storage container (10) for a compact disk. The storage container (10) includes an outer casing (11) in which is received a compact disk (C). The storage container (10) includes a compact disk support in the form of a pair of arms (12a, 12b) which grasp the compact disk (C) and suspend the compact disk (C) in the storage container (10). A rotatable sidewall (14) is rotatably mounted to the outer casing (11). Rotation of the rotatable sidewall (14) removes the compact disk (C) from within the outer casing (11). Further rotation of the rotatable sidewall (14) causes the rotatable sidewall (14) to act as a lever arm and to press the arms (12a, 12b) together, releasing the compact disk (C).
