Abstract: A storage container for holding rectangular items having a height, a width, and a thickness. One such rectangular item is a compact disc jewel case. The storage container is comprised of: a base or lower bracket; an upper bracket; a set of connecting bars which rise from the base connecting the lower bracket to the upper bracket; and one strip of resilient material, such as foam, which is attached flush against the lower bracket. The rectangular item is stored in the storage container by pressing one of the rectangular item's flat surfaces downward against the resilient material and simultaneously pressing the upper portion of the rectangular item flush against the upper bracket. The rectangular item is kept in place by the upward pressure of the resilient material against the upper bracket which I claim to be the unique mechanism to store the rectangular items. To remove a rectangular item, provide a pressure from the back of the storage container pushing the rectangular item in the opposite direction as inserting the rectangular item. Because there is little friction between the top of the rectangular item and the upper bracket, the rectangular item is angled forward until the top of the rectangular item is no longer within the range of the upper bracket. At that time the rectangular item will be popped from the storage device. An added feature of invention is that the rectangular items can be randomly inserted or removed whereas other mechanisms, such as retaining rectangular items through use of lips on the brackets, cannot randomly access an individual rectangular item.

Abstract translation: 一种用于保持具有高度，宽度和厚度的矩形物品的储存容器。 一个这样的矩形物品是一个光盘宝石盒。 储存容器包括：底座或下支架; 上支架 一组连接杆，从连接下支架到上支架的底座上升; 和一条弹性材料条，例如泡沫，其与下支架齐平。 矩形物品通过将矩形物品的平坦表面中的一个向下压靠在弹性材料上并同时按压矩形物品的上部而与上托架齐平地存储在存储容器中。 矩形物品通过弹性材料的向上的压力抵靠上托架保持就位，这被认为是存储矩形物品的唯一机构。 为了取出矩形物品，从储存容器的背面提供压力，按照与插入矩形物品相反的方向推动长方形物品。 因为矩形物品的顶部和上部托架之间的摩擦力很小，所以长方形的物品向前倾斜，直到矩形物品的顶部不再在上部托架的范围内。 那时候，矩形物品将从存储装置中弹出。 发明的另一个特征在于，矩形物品可以被随机地插入或移除，而其他机构，例如通过使用支架上的嘴唇来保持矩形物品，不能随机地访问单独的矩形物品。
