Abstract:
This invention is a new and innovative means for storing typical media cases such as CD(s) or DVD(s) in a uniquely shaped slot. Said invention also incorporates features that allows user to interlock, clip together, and display plastic trays on a wall or table top in order to create a variable and expandable storage system that best suits their mounting, installation, and displaying needs.
Abstract:
Multimedia furniture includes structure for a multimedia console that allows insertion of the console through a front panel of the multimedia furniture, e.g., via a slot or cutout, advantageously keeping the console apparent through the front panel. For better integration of multimedia peripherals and storage components into the multimedia furniture, the invention also includes structure for retaining multimedia storage components, such as gaming DVDs and their cases and/or structure for retaining gaming peripherals, such as wired or wireless gaming controllers. For instance, in one non-limiting embodiment, a furniture stand for a display device is provided having a main surface for supporting a display device. In a front panel, the furniture stand includes a cutout or slot in a front panel for receiving a multimedia console. In another non-limiting embodiment, tower furniture is provided including a cutout or slot in the tower portion for receiving and supporting a multimedia console.
Abstract:
A modular panel includes a plate having a surrounding edge and opposite surfaces. A pair of side walls project form a first surface and terminate in an outer edge portion that is generally parallel to the plate. A first connecting structure, such as a male rib, is located along the outer edge portions of the side walls. A pair of second connecting structures, such as female channels, are located on the second surface to interlock with the first connecting structures so that adjacent panels may be fastened together in a snap-fit manner to form a storage system. A selected item, such as a computer disc, DVD, CD and the like, may be stored between the panels.
Abstract:
A carrying device for box-shaped items, such as compact discs in covers, comprises an upper, elongate retaining means with a rubber-elastic portion and a stop for the items, and a lower, elongate carrying means with a horizontal supporting face and a stop for the items. The retaining means has preferably a lip facing the items. The carrying device may below have a shelf, preferably with saw-tooth shaped steps. The retaining means and the carrying means are preferably connected by a wall. The carrying device has preferably suspension means for suspension on a wall, and preferably supporting means for support against the wall. The supporting means are preferably lengthwise adjustable by shortening. The carrying device has preferably feet for resting on a tabletop, and its supporting structure is preferably constituted by an extruded metal blank.
Abstract:
In a disc stand device, a pyramid-shaped or cone-shaped support column (2) is provided to be longitudinally placed in an appropriate position. A plurality of slits (4) are provided to align at regular intervals on an elevational side or a ridgeline of the support column (2) along a longitudinal direction of the support column (2). The slits (4) have a depth directed to tilt to form an acute angle against a generating line of the support column (2). Upon inserting the disc plates (5) into the slits (4), the plurality of disc plates (5) overlap partially when viewed from the user side. This enables the user to take out the desired one quickly by visually confirming the title through the gap between the disc plates (5) arranged adjacent vertically or laterally. When the disc plates (5) are applied to computer-related devices, it is possible to significantly improve an efficiency of the clerical work due to the disc plates (5) quickly taken out.
Abstract:
A system including pluralities of tubular lengths and T-connectors couplable with said lengths in a package for assemblage into an orthogonal frame of width, length and depth not in excess of 24 inches, 80 inches and 5½ inch, respectively, for securement to one of a planar wall and planar door surface.
Abstract:
A rack includes a flexible planar backboard to which pairs of flexible resilient loops are fixed in rows. The lower ends in each pair are spaced apart by a distance which is less than the transverse dimension of the article to be supported, while the upper ends are spaced apart at a distance which is greater than the transverse dimension. The backboard is preferably formed of sheet plastic less than 1.0 mm thick so that it can be rolled up. The loops may be formed of plastic tubing having end faces received against the backboard and retained by unformed rivets received through holes in the backboard. The loops can be formed integrally with the backboard by stamping out straps which remain attached at a proximal ends, and fixing the distal ends into apertures.
Abstract:
A container for media disc cases having a plurality of slots so as to present the edges of the cases in a stacked format. A magnifying bar is slidably mounted on the container for positioning in front of the case edges to aid the user in reading the indicia thereon. A light located within the container focuses a beam along the edge surfaces of the disc cases to aid in reading the indicia on the cases through the magnifying bar.
Abstract:
A furniture piece which is both functional and aesthetically pleasing includes a storage compartment for storing compact disks, videotape cassettes and the like. The storage compartment includes fixed and adjustable dividers. The storage compartment is adapted to be concealed from view by means of a sliding top which is integrated into the furniture piece thereby to produce an uncluttered appearance as well as easy access to the contents of the storage compartment.
Abstract:
A first support construction has first and second columns of openings on a face thereof, and a second support construction has third and fourth columns of openings on a face thereof. A first horizontal cross member is removably attached at opposite ends in corresponding openings in the first and third columns, and a second horizontal cross member is removably attached at opposite ends in corresponding openings in the second and fourth columns. A first spacer member is removably attached to the first support construction via two rearward pegs in two openings in the first column. With an end of a third horizontal cross member attached to a forward peg of the first spacer member, the vertical plane of the third horizontal cross member is spaced between the vertical planes of the first and second columns. Similarly, a second spacer member is removably attached to the first support construction via two rearward pegs in two openings in the third column. With an opposite end of the third horizontal cross member attached to a forward peg of the second spacer member, the axis of the third horizontal cross member is spaced between the vertical planes of the third and fourth columns. The first, second and third horizontal cross members are thereby positioned in different horizontal planes and different vertical planes and form an article support cradle. The first and second spacer members allow the first and third columns to be used for both the first and third cross members so that additional columns of openings are not needed in the first and second support constructions. The storage rack is preferably provided to the end user completely “knocked down” and in a box, ready for easy assembly into the desired cradle arrangement.
