Abstract:
A storage rack for storing compact disc, cassette and videotape cases in a vertical stack. The storage rack consists of a base having a tower support with a top surface set at a predetermined oblique angle. Modular components are stacked on top of the base to form a storage tower. The modular components and the corresponding storage slots are also oriented at the predetermined oblique angle. The stored cases disposed in the slots display their title at an upwardly turned angle which makes them easy to view. The base may be equipped with several tower supports to support several storage towers facing in similar or different directions.
Abstract:
A stand for holding compact discs and/or tape cassettes preferably has a rotatably mounted part (1) made up of a multiplicity of bar-shaped elements (7, 8) of two different types. These elements have transverse grooves enabling them to be fitted one on the other in parallel pairs, with alternate pairs at right angles to each other, thus giving two pairs of parallel walls. The elements (7, 8) also have longitudinal ribs (9) located opposite each other in pairs, thus providing lateral supports for the objects. The individual components can be provided as a kit which enables the stand to be transported and distributed in unassembled form. A second, smaller, part (2), can be mounted on the first (1) and connected to it. This second part is designed to hold differently shaped objects, such as audio cassettes.
Abstract:
A compact disc storage case display rack which provides for the display during storage of the front labels of stored cases and enables the presentation of an artistic display created by the joint arrangement of those labels.
Abstract:
A convertible storage cabinet for storing audio tapes, video tapes, and compact discs, is adapted to be installed in a residential wall. The cabinet has a width suited for being inserted between a pair of vertical wall studs in the wall. The cabinet box has interior walls slotted to receive horizontal shelves for accommodating either video tapes or audio cassette tapes depending upon the location of the shelves; or a pair of vertical shelves that have inclined ribs for receiving compact discs.
Abstract:
A housing has an opening for receiving supports for audio or video cassettes or discs. When the support is fully inserted in the housing, an elastic bias member in the housing exerts a force on the support in a direction which is substantially transverse to the insertion direction. The elastic bias member yields in response to manual pressure on the support which turns the support through an angle in a first rotational direction to a pivoted position. When the support is in its pivoted position, the elastic bias member moves the support to an ejection position while rotating the support in a second rotational direction which is opposite to the first rotational direction. A plurality of housing modules with such elastic bias members are connected together by snap connectors for storing a plurality of supports for recording media.
Abstract:
An inductive neon lamp set comprises a neon lamp and a circuit system comprising a speech detecting circuit for receiving a sound signal. The sound signal so received is amplified by a speech amplifying circuit of the circuit system which further comprises a power control circuit and a high voltage oscillating circuit. The neon lamp is caused to glow variably by various output signals delivered thereto from the high voltage oscillating circuit. The glowing variation of the neon lamp is dependent on the intensity of the sound signal received by the speech detecting signal.
Abstract:
A keeping case for a cassette is provided. The keeping case includes an inner case pivotally connected to an outer case by a point hinge. Connecting bodies are provided for connecting one such keeping case to another keeping case adjacent thereto. The connected keeping cases are able to stand freely and to enable access to cassettes stored therein.
Abstract:
A wall mountable storage rack for compact disks comprises an open framework forming a plurality of adjacent rectangular receptacles, each being sized to accept a compact disk when the disk is oriented with one of the disk's largest surfaces facing outward of the rack. At least one releasable latch is integrated into each of the receptacles for releasably retaining a disk therein. Each of the rectangular receptacles is formed from four elongated side members releasably joined to four corner members. Preselected ones of the corner members are connectable to other elongated side members for forming the adjacent receptacles. The corner members also include a pin and socket arrangement on a rear surface for attaching a backing to an assembled rack. The rack may be wall mounted using Velcro type fasteners or the corner members may include pin holes formed therethrough for attaching the rack to a wall with small brads or pins.
Abstract:
A compact disc case display holder comprising individual frame means having top, bottom and side portions with two parallel support rods positioned vertically and extending between the top and bottom frame portions. The support rods are spaced a sufficient distance from each other so as to provide not only support for a CD case positioned within the frame but also to allow pivotal movement of the CD case out of the holder when the CD case is urged about the support rod. Additional means are disclosed for interconnecting a number of individual display holder frames to provide an assembly of holders suitable for wall mounted display.
