Abstract:
A media storage assembly holds, organizes, and displays one or more of a user's media collections. The assembly includes a base panel having an upper surface. The upper surface is flat wherein the upper surface is configured to receive a plurality of media thereon. A slot extends into the base panel. A rod is positioned in the slot. A pair of end panels is slidably coupled to the rod. The end panels are slidable to a selectable position on the rod wherein the end panels are configured to abut an outermost one of the media and prevent spacing between adjacently positioned ones of the media.
Abstract:
A holding apparatus for at least one storage medium has a housing in which a supporting structure is arranged. The supporting structure is in this case connected to the housing with vibration damping via a damping device. A storage medium is arranged in the supporting structure. The storage medium is bounded in a pressuretight manner from an external atmosphere. A cooling element is provided for cooling the storage medium.
Abstract:
This document discloses a case for holding storage media, particularly data cassettes, having a top part and a bottom part that are joined to each other, whereby at least one section, preferably four sections, is/are provided inside the case in order to hold at least two storage media, preferably four to twenty storage media.
Abstract:
A CD storage case has two holders and two racks mounted between the holders. The racks between the holders could be folded inside the holders. When no CD cases put on the CD storage case, the racks could be folded to decrease whole volume.
Abstract:
A storage system comprises multiple units with combined features for storing, transporting and accessing planar media. The system comprises a container (library unit), modules, and a transport case. The module has expandable linked pockets for separating and protecting planar media elements. The modules allow a library of the planar media to be partitioned and stored into identifiable units. The container has particular features for guiding modules into parallel locations and retaining the modules in a substantially upright and closed position. Each container is configured to accept a plurality of the modules for storage. Removed modules may be fanned open in an accordian fashion exposing stored media for access. The modules are adapted to operate stand alone and adapted for inserting into and coupling to the covers of the transport case such that opening the transport case in-turn fans open the module allowing access for media retrieval or storage.
Abstract:
An embodiment of the invention comprises an apparatus for holding computer disks with or without a case in a manner that displays the label side of the disk to the user. In one or more instances, the apparatus embodying the invention comprises an open-faced housing having a plurality of grooves of multiple depths recessed into one or more portions of the housing. Each groove is configured to hold disks and/or their cases so that the user may easily insert and retrieve disks via the grooves. Embodiments of the invention allow the storage of a jewel case or a disk, a mini-jewel case or a disk, a jewel case or a mini-jewel case or a mini-jewel case and a disk at the same time or a jewel case in place of both a mini-jewel case and a disk. The grooves holding a disk may or may not overlap the data carrying portion of the disk depending upon the embodiment of the invention. The open-faced housing may comprise a uniform piece that is formed via an injection mold or any other type of housing that may contain recessed grooves without inhibiting the function of the housing. A computer monitor, computer case, desk, computer printer, or any other place where it would be convenient for a user to store disks may be adapted to incorporate embodiments of the invention. For instance, a bundle of disks could have an open-faced housing placed on top where the open-faced housing contains grooves configured in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
Abstract:
A holder for displaying a CD or DVD case (10) has a bowed configuration with regions (4) sloping up to a central, flat region (5) between a pair of opposed, hooked lugs (2). The back-face (11) of the case (10) rests on the region (5) between upturned lips (6) and the lugs (2) bear resiliently on opposite edges (13,14) of the case (10) to retain it firmly. Rocking of the case (10) frees the projecting rim (16) of the edge (13) from the hook-end (7) of the abutting lug (2). Alternative holders have a central spine (22;45) with laterally-extending legs (23,25;41,43) that terminate in hooked-lugs (24;42) or plain lugs (26;44), and have a wave-contour for back-support of the case (30).
Abstract:
An embodiment of the invention comprises an apparatus for holding computer disks without a jewel case in a manner that displays the non-play side of the disk to the user. In one or more instances the apparatus embodying the invention comprises an openfaced housing having a plurality of grooves recessed into one or more portions of the housing. Each groove is configured to hold CDs so that the user may easily insert CDs and/or any other type of media into the grooves. The invention contemplates the inclusion of grooves of varying size and depth into the open-faced housing. The open-faced housing may comprise a uniform piece that is formed via an injection mold or any other type of housing that may contain recessed grooves without inhibiting the function of the housing. A computer monitor, computer case, desk, computer printer, or any other place where it would be convenient for a user to store disks may be adapted to incorporate embodiments of the invention. For instance, a bundle of CDs could have an open-faced housing placed on top where the open-faced housing contains grooves configured in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
Abstract:
An expandable, compact disc shipping container capable of securely holding a compact disc container and additionally providing added protection to the corners of the compact disc container, which usually is most vulnerable to damage during shipping, and to the compact disc itself. The expandable, shipping container is provided with a top closure flap that is at least as long as the width of maximum expansion and further provided with score lines that facilitate assembly of a container blank and provide the ability to hold compact discs containers of varying thickness securely during shipment.
Abstract:
A storage device for holding a collection of individual units of media such as, but not limited to, compact discs, DVD's, CD-roms, mini discs, video game cassettes, cassette tapes, VCR tapes, microcassettes, and the like, includes a frame structure having first and second longitudinal frame members maintained in spaced apart, parallel relation and a plurility of carriers supported transversely between the longitudinal frame members in a series of rows. The carriers each include a base and front and rear transparent panels extending upwardly from the base in spaced parallel relation to one another for holding one or more of the media units therebetween in a generally upright position. The carriers are normally maintained in a rearwardly inclined position and are independently movable, in a flipping motion, about a transverse pivot axis through a range of movement between the rearwardly inclined position and a forwardly inclined position. As the carriers in each row are flipped forwardly, the entire front covers of the media units are visibly exposed in the next successive row, thereby providing for easy visual identification and location of each of the individual media units stored within the device.
