Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device for storing information material, said device being characterized in that it consists of a larger container suitable for receiving printed papers and the like, and a smaller container (18) solidly joined with the larger container and suitable for receiving CD's. In this connection, the small container (18) has an access possibility for sliding in or removing CD's, such possibility being given independently of the access possibility to the larger container. The larger container preferably has a bottom part and a cover part (13), which is connected with the bottom part rotating around an axle, so that the cover part (13) can be folded open for inserting or removing printed material.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a plastic sheet for holding information recording carriers, with which information recording carriers in the form of small disks, such as floppy disks, can be contained under control. In the holding sheet (1) according to the present invention, a pair of hanging members (8,8) for hanging the holding sheet (1) and large and small two types of index strips (7L,7S) are removably formed utilizing bottom plates (4a) of holding cavities (4) for holding information recording carriers. By mounting the index strips (7L,7S) in an insertion groove (3) formed on one side edge of the holding sheet (1), the wanted information recording carrier can be found easily. By mounting the pair of hanging members (8,8) by insertion into mounting holes formed in the vicinities of the both ends of the insertion groove (3), the holding sheet (1) can be hung in a cabinet or the like. Further, by forming a holding groove for holding non-used hanging members (8,8) in the backside of the holding sheet (1), loss of the hanging members can be prevented.
Abstract:
This invention provides a sheet made of a synthetic resin for holding information recording carriers in the form of small thin plates such as floppy disks. Index strips are removably formed in the holding sheet, and an insertion groove for mounting the removed index strips is formed on one side edge of the holding sheet, whereby an information recording carrier held in the sheet can easily be found. The elements constituting the holding sheet do not overlap when viewed from the front side and back side of the holding sheet, so that the holding sheet can be produced by injection molding wherein the mold is moved in only one direction perpendicular to the plane of the holding sheet. Thus, the holding sheet is suited for large scale production and its production cost is low.
Abstract:
An apparatus for dispensing and transporting compact discs within a compact disc container has a housing and at least one pair of opposing guide rails in the housing. A guide and retention member is placed within opposing guide rails to guide and retain the compact disc container. A compact disc retention device on the member has at least one first retaining tab and at least one second retaining tab on the frame to retain and guide the container. At least one locking key is on the frame to retain the guide and retention frame in the guide rails. At least one retrieving tab is attached to the compact disc container. A handle is provided on the housing. A carrying case to protect the unit and its contents is included.
Abstract:
The hanging diskette storage cabinet is a diskette storage box that may be hung between an ordinary pair of hanging rails in a file drawer. By this arrangement, a user may keep diskettes in easy reach and may secure the diskettes by simply locking the file drawer. The diskette box may also include a lid which has an upper recess surface such that, when the diskette storage box is hung in a file drawer, the lid may be open onto and over index tabs carried by files located behind the diskette storage box. In this fashion, the lid may lie flat over the files without damaging the index tabs and allowing the drawer to be closed with the box open. In a second aspect, the hanging diskette storage cabinet is a diskette storage box that may be variably configured. The diskette storage box is preferably dimensioned to accommodate an integral number of diskettes of a first size in one direction and an integral number of diskettes of a second size in the other direction. The diskette box includes false floors and divider vanes allowing the user to customize the box to accommodate diskettes of the first and second size in a multitude of configurations.
Abstract:
A container for video magnetic-tape cassettes, compact phonographic disks or similar recording media, with a housing and a slide which is displaceable into an opening position by a prestressing spring after a lock has been released. The slide carries a front plate which closes the housing and which moves aside during opening, so that the cassette or the like can be grasped conveniently. A common housing preferably contains several slides. A blocking lock can be provided. Outwardly identical housings can contain slides adapted either to cassettes or to compact phonographic disks or to other recording media.
Abstract:
An information recording carrier-holding sheet in which laterally and vertically extending partition walls are formed in a single rigid resin sheet to form a plurality of rectangular depressions for allowing information recording carriers to be housed therein. Planar lugs are formed on the opposite side walls of each of the rectangular depression while projecting from almost the central portions of the opposite side walls in the longitudinal direction thereof to the inside of the rectangular depression. Guide members for guiding the movement of the information recording carrier in the rectangular depression are provided at the planar lugs in each of the rectangular depressions or in the vicinity thereof.
Abstract:
A container for storing floppy diskettes or similarly shaped objects which enables a selected stored floppy diskette to be located and retrieved rapidly and efficiently is described. The container comprises a box having parallel guideways on opposite sides, the guideways defining storage spaces for the floppy diskettes. A lifter tree comprising a hinged support arm corresponding to each floppy diskette and located within the space for each floppy diskette is swingable to raise the floppy diskette. A rotating camshaft extending the length of the storage container has cams corresponding to each support arm, the cams corresponding to adjacent support arms being located at different radial positions around the camshaft. The cams engage lever arms located on the support arms of the lifter tree. The floppy diskettes may have identification labels located near their top edges serially scanned by rotating the camshaft, thereby serially engaging the cams with the lever arms of the support arms serially swinging the support arms and serially raising the floppy diskettes.
