Abstract
A storage container for a disc includes case member (10) including a cover member (16), a base member (18), and a hinge member (20) for joining the cover member (16) to the base member (18). The hinge member (20) allows the base member (18) and cover member (16) to pivot between a coplanar open position and an overlapping parallel plane closed position. A tray member (14) is also included that has a proximal end (96), a distal end (94), a disc receiving portion (98) disposed adjacent to the proximal end (96) and a raised platform portion (182). The raised platform portion (182) is disposed adjacent to the distal end (99). The tray member (14) is sized and shaped for being received by the base member (18) such that when the case member (10) is in the open position, the disc receiving portion (98) and the raised platform (182) of the tray member (14) are accessible, and when the case member (10) is in the closed position, the disc receiving portion (98) is covered by the cover member (16), and the raised platform (182) is accessible and generally coplanar with the cover member (16).
