2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a disk-shaped recording medium such as a CD-ROM is stored in a hard plastic storage case. The storage case used for such a purpose generally has a relatively large thickness, so that the entire storage case is much larger than the size of the recording medium itself. Therefore, for example, when it is necessary to collectively store a large number of disk-shaped recording media, a large storage space must be secured.

In order to solve such a problem, for example, a transparent sheet member is attached to the backing of an album-type storage file to form a pocket-shaped medium storage section having an open side, and a disk is formed in the medium storage section. There has been proposed a medium storage file device capable of inserting and storing state recording media one by one.

The medium storage section is provided with an opening so that the disk-shaped recording medium inserted into the storage section does not fall out of the opening of the medium storage section during movement of the medium storage file device. Is provided at the binding end (one end on the file center side) of each mount.
