Abstract:
A tray container casing for accommodating a plurality of disc trays adapted for accommodating an optical disc or the like, in which the optical disc accommodated in the tray container casing can be retrieved with improved operability. To this end, the tray container casing includes main casing member 106 provided with a tray container 105 for accommodating plural disc trays in a stacked state in a direction of the thicknesses of the disc trays and with an opening 107 through which the disc tray 1 is inserted or ejected to or from the tray container 105, and a lid 108 for opening/closing the opening 107 of the main casing member 106. Within the main casing member 106, there is provided a step difference unit 111 for arraying label indicators 12 of plural disc trays 1 housed in a stacked state in the tray container 105 so that these label indicators 12 face to outside in a vertically staggered relation to one another.

Abstract:
A disc holding mechanism enables a disc-shaped recording medium to be held easily and reliably without e.g., a finger end of a user directly contacting the recording medium to prevent the recording surface of the recording medium from being damaged. To this end, the disc holding mechanism includes an engaging section (51), engaged in a center opening (3) of an optical disc (2), a gripping section (52), for gripping the optical disc (2) engaged in the engaging section (51), and a releasing member (53) having releasing pieces (68) abutted by a holding area (4) on the outer peripheral side of the center opening (3) of the optical disc (2) to cause movement of the optical disc (2) in a direction (al) for releasing the engaged state of the optical disc (2) with the engaging section (51).
