Abstract:
A fastening device for an expansion card includes a first rack, a second rack opposite to the first rack, and a fastener. The first rack defines a first opening. A supporting plate extends from the first rack toward the second rack. A position tab extends up from the supporting plate. The fastener engages with the first rack and comprises a resilient arm. The supporting plate supports a bottom surface of a first end of the expansion card. The position tab is received in a mounting hole defined in the first end of the expansion card. The resilient arm is deformed and extends through the first opening, and is blocked by the first rack and abuts a top surface of the first end of the expansion card. A second end of the expansion card is fastened to the second rack.

Abstract:
An organizer and method of use is disclosed, wherein the organizer includes a plurality of movable and repositionable walls, and securing devices for movably and repositionally attaching the divider walls to a support to accommodate different sizes and shapes of electronic devices to be stored and recharged. Routing devices position cables for recharging electronic devices leaning against the divider walls.
Abstract:
A rotatable display holder system includes one or more rotatable display holders constructed for stacking upon other rotatable display holders to store and display media items for easy access. The holders are preferably formed by injection molding by common materials to minimize cost. The holders may be formed as round, cylindrical housings, constructed with substantially flat upper and lower disc-like surfaces extending radially from the housing's axial center to create an open internal volume extending from an inner annular wall of the cylindrical housing at a distance R1 from the axial center to an outer edge of the cylindrical housing at a radial distance R2 from the axial center. R2 is determined so that a portion of intended media items extend from the edge of a compartment into which it is placed, and to define an outer boundary of the housing's annular internal volume. A set of vertical dividers arranged on an inner face of at least one of the top and bottom disc-like surfaces, extending radially in a direction from the axial center to define boundaries of media-item storage compartments within the internal volume, and open compartments proximate each media store compartment to facilitate grasping of media items stored in and partially extending from the storage compartments.
Abstract:
This invention is a backward-leaning folder rack having a plurality of side walls, a first floor, and a back wall. The side walls extend upwards and the back wall is upwards from the first floor. The side walls have a front edge and a rear edge. The first floor has a front portion and a rear portion. The first floor inclines rear-to-front at an angle (like 10 degrees) from level. Each compartment can be of a width 1.5″ or less to confine the panels of a folder together. The invention can be supported at that angle by holes for hanging it on a wall, by downward side, wall extensions, by a front panel and corner leg, or by a second floor attached to the first floor by a means (like leg extensions, front panel, and corner leg).

Abstract:
A high capacity motorized rack holds a plurality of jewel case enclosed CDs in holders flexibly inter-connectable with each other to form a rotatable continuous loop. The loop is rotatably retained within a vertical rack housing and is driven by a motor, disposed within the housing, under user control such that the loop is rotated until a desired CD is moved to the top region of the belt. A rack may hold two or more such loops of inter-connected holders. In one embodiment a holder retains a single jewel case, and comprises two independent loops that are rotated with a single motor. A preferred embodiment employs inter-connectable holders that each retain two jewel cases in a side-by-side configuration. A lamp and/or barcode scanner may be disposed on the housing for ease of CD selection. The housing base preferably is detached during shipping to permit transporting the rack in a smaller volume container. User control can include voice commands to direct loop rotation and speed.

Abstract:
A motorized rack for holding the jewel cases or containers of CDs (or the CDs themselves) in a very compact manner includes a continuous loop formed of holders for the CD cases or other retainers which is driven by a pair of sprockets on which the holders are mounted for rotation. High density storage is provided by spacing the holders and their associated CD containers contiguously to one another and then removal is facilitated by allowing the holders and containers to fan out at the top the vertical tower for manual removal.
