US Patent 7374114 Device for the destruction of disc media

A device for the destruction of disc media is provided. The device includes an engagement member disposed within a housing portion, and a support member on which the disc media rests against. An actuating force is applied to move the engagement member and support member together, thereby pressing the disc media between the engagement member and support member, and causing the disc media to break into pieces. The data stored on the resultant broken pieces of disc media are now not easily readable, and may be discarded.
