Abstract: A rotating display holder for VCR tapes, DVD's, and video games. The holder is round and contains multiple sleeves or compartments to hold the above media items, such that the user can easily read the title of each on the spine of the item. In the preferred mode of production, the compartments are spaced apart from one another so that the user can easily place his or her fingers around the tape or DVD to conveniently pull the item from the holder. Importantly, the rotatable holder can hold a mix of VCR tapes and DVD's or games, saving a great deal of space for the user. Therefore, the holder can be placed in a cabinet with shelves for VCR's or DVD players, as well as in a wall unit or entertainment center. The rotatable holder may be produced in several sizes, such as a small and large size, and the holders can be stacked on top of one another to hold large collections of tapes, DVD's, and games. In addition, the rotatable holder may be motorized and remotely controlled. This allows the user to spin the holder to easily locate a particular item contained within. Finally, specialized cabinets may be made for the rotatable holder, providing a compact means to hold a variety of items in an attractive manner.

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.
