Abstract
A compact disc storage case for storing a compact disc includes an interior storage compartment which receives the compact disc. A manually manipulatable latch/eject mechanism is incorporated in the storage case and includes an elongated latch/eject member which moves within the storage compartment between two positions. In one position, the latch/eject member engages the inner hole of the compact disc and in the other position, the latch/eject member disengages the disc and forces it partially out of the storage case. The storage compartment includes a ramp which the latch/eject member traverses in its movement between the two positions and the ramp forces the latch/eject member out of disengagement with the compact disc.
