[ I claim as my invention:] [1.] A disc storage arrangement comprising an enclosure, plural substantially flat envelopes mounted therein for containing discs, and mounting means,said mounting means comprising part mounting means in said enclosure for receiving, holding, and releasing said envelopes

[ I claim as my invention:] [1.] A disc storage arrangement comprising an enclosure, plural substantially flat envelopes mounted therein for containing discs, and mounting means,said mounting means comprising part mounting means in said enclosure for receiving, holding, and releasing said envelopes within said enclosure without moving said part mounting means; andsaid mounting means further comprising interengaging part mounting means in each of said envelopes for engaging said part mounting means and for individually engaging and disengaging each of said envelopes and said part mounting means without disengaging any others of said plural envelopes from said part mounting means and without moving said part mounting means. [15.] A disc storage system comprising:an enclosure comprising,a rigid bottom cavity having a flat bottom with four sides ascending therefrom,a rigid top cavity having a flat top with four sides descending therefrom,a hinge for pivotally joining said top and bottom cavities, andplural spaced apart cylinders affixed axially perpendicular to said flat bottom, each of said cylinders comprising a free end having a top knob with an outer diameter larger than an outer diameter of said cylinders, said top knob extending into said top cavity when said enclosure is closed; andplural flat envelopes, each of said envelopes comprising,three sheets of flexible material, a first one of said three sheets being thicker and longer than the other two of said three sheets, said three sheets being joined at their sides and at one end to form two pockets which correspond in size to said flat bottom of said bottom cavity, one of said pockets for receiving a disc,said first sheet having an elongated portion extending from said one end, said elongated portion having plural recesses in a distal end thereof which correspond to said plural cylinders of said enclosure,each of said recesses comprising a circular opening having a diameter that is about the same as the outer diameter of said cylinders and a notch joining said distal end to said circular opening, said notch having a minimum width that is less than the outer diameter of said cylinders,whereby any of said envelopes can be individually engaged in any order on said cylinders and disengaged from said cylinders without disengaging any others of said envelopes from said cylinders and without changing a position of said cylinders. The system of claim 15, wherein said top and bottom cavities are substantially the same size and shape. The system of claim 17, wherein said notch has a width at said distal end that is about the same as the diameter of said cylinders. [18.] A disc storage system comprising:an enclosure comprising,a rigid bottom cavity having a flat bottom with four sides ascending therefrom, one of said sides comprising an extension that extends back over a portion of said flat bottom,a rigid top cavity having a flat top with sides descending therefrom, except at a side corresponding to said one side with said extension,a hinge for pivotally joining said top and bottom cavities at a side opposite said extension, andplural spaced apart cylinders extending axially perpendicular to said flat bottom that each have one end affixed to said flat bottom and another end affixed to said extension; andplural flat envelopes, each of said envelopes comprising,three sheets of flexible material, a first one of said three sheets being thicker and longer than the other two of said three sheets, said three sheets being joined at their sides and at one end to form two pockets which correspond in size to said flat bottom of said bottom cavity, one of said pockets for receiving a disc,said first sheet having an elongated portion extending from said one end, said elongated portion having plural recesses in a distal end thereof which correspond to said plural cylinders of said enclosure,each of said recesses comprising a circular opening having a diameter that is about the same as the outer diameter of said cylinders and a notch joining said distal end to said circular opening, said notch having a minimum width that is less than the outer diameter of said cylinders,whereby any of said envelopes can be individually engaged in any order on said cylinders and disengaged from said cylinders without disengaging any others of said envelopes from said cylinders and without moving said cylinders.
