Compact disc storage device

A disk storage device comprising:

• a first housing portion including a planar upper wall spaced-apart from a planar lower wall, a first side wall connecting mutual first edges of the upper and lower walls together, a second side wall connecting mutual second edges of the upper and lower walls together, and a closed end wall connecting mutual end edges of the upper and lower walls together, the walls cooperating to define a disk holder portion having a front opening for receiving a planar object therein;
• a second housing portion slidably receiving the first housing portion therein, the second housing portion including a planar upper wall spaced-apart from a planar lower wall, a first side wall connecting mutual first edges of the upper and lower walls together, and a second side wall connecting mutual second edges of the upper and lower walls together, the walls cooperating to define a disk case portion having a front opening for receiving an object and a rear opening for receiving the first housing portion, the lower wall and both side walls of the second housing portion extending rearwardly from the rear opening to support the first housing portion in a disk storage position.

A method of ejecting a disk from a storage device having an inner housing member for retaining a first portion of the disk therein, and an outer housing member for encompassing a second portion of a disk and at least a portion of said inner housing member, said inner housing member being telescopically slidable within said outer housing member, the method comprising:

• urging the inner and outer housing portions together to reduce the length of the storage device and eject the disk from a forward opening defined in the outer housing portion.
