Abstract: An electronic media storage apparatus includes a lower housing having a floor, opposed side walls and a rear wall. A front wall is movable between open and closed configurations. The apparatus includes a cover having a top portion and opposed first and second sides extending downwardly therefrom. The lower housing side walls, lower housing rear wall, and the front wall collectively define a continuous lip at an upper end of the lower housing and an upper end of the front wall when the front wall is at the closed configuration. The cover is removably coupled to the lower housing and the front wall. When the front wall is at the closed configuration and the cover is coupled to the lower housing and front wall, a hermetic cavity is formed between the lower housing, the front wall, and the cover; the cavity being sized to receive an electronic media item.

Abstract: In a CD storage device, the combination comprising an upstanding post to receive CD's in a stack, and via openings therethrough, a carrier for each CD having circularly spaced retainers to retain the periphery of each CD at spaced locations, an identification zone associated with a retainer, for each CD, and cam surfaces on said carriers for inter-engagement in response to selected CD rotation, for locally elevating the carrier of a selected CD for retrieval off the post.

Abstract: The invention pertains to an object storage device with at least two storage spaces for stackers as well as a horizontally tiltable transport platform whose height can be displaced by a hoisting unit. The hoisting unit is arranged at a base point, which can be moved horizontally over an X-Y track system, which has the advantage that, in principle, any number of stackers can be arranged in two parallel rows next to each other. It is preferred that the hoisting unit be suspended from the X-Y track system with the free end hanging down.

Abstract: A data card drawer for installing a data card, such as a compact flash card, into a device that uses data cards. Devices that use data cards include, for example, medical devices, and more particularly defibrillators. The data card drawer electrically isolates the data card from the user when the user is installing or removing the data card from the device. The data card drawer may also be formed to provide a closure to the opening in the device housing provided to receive the data card. Further, the data card drawer may be formed to prevent damaging pins located on a pin connector within the receiving device which communicate data with the data card. The data card drawer preferably mates with the device to prevent ingress and egress of foreign matter and moisture.

Abstract: A cabinet drawer (12-20) for storing information modules (22) of selectively different widths in rows extending front to back of the drawer has row dividers (24) which are removably end mounted within slots (50,52) at any desirable width spacing. The dividers each have a flexible center portion (54) terminating in pedestals (56,58) for receipt within the slots (50,52). When dividers are so-mounted within a drawer (12-20) they are secured in place by inherent spring characteristics of the divider (24).

Abstract: A compact disc container having a compact disc carrier pivotally mounted within a housing. The carrier is spring biased outwardly from a side of the housing and is held in a closed, stored position within the housing by a finger activated latch. The container can be manipulated by one hand and the compact disc is fully exposed-when the carrier is pivoted to the open position. A title/cover page can be viewable from the top of the container, and a label can be viewable from a side of the container. The compact disc container is intended to replace the traditional compact disc case having the disc packaged therein when purchased at the store.

Abstract: A cassette for housing glass which includes edge supporting members provided at the side supports for supporting glass substrates in a stacked relationship; horizontal substrate supporting members alternately disposed between the edge supporting members and extending across the cassette between the side supports, and substrate-fixing members disposed on the horizontal substrate-supporting members and intermediate the side supports for supporting glass substrates to be suspended from the edge supporting members within the cassette.

Abstract: A disc case for a compact disc or the like is provided. The disc case includes a pair of plate-like flank walls, a side wall interconnecting the flank walls, a side of the case having an opening therein for insertion and removal of a disc, a slide track means, slide means movable in the slide track means, and means for controlling withdrawal of the disc from the disc case. The means for controlling withdrawal of the disc includes inner and outer pins associated with the slide means, and slide track means including pin guides for guiding movement of the inner and outer pins such that when the slide means is pushed toward the opening for withdrawing the disc from the disc case, the inner pin moves upwardly in its pin guide and away from the disc, and the outer pin moves downwardly in its pin guide and towards the disc to prevent the disc from falling out of the case.

Abstract: The invention comprises an improved carrier having laterally and inwardly extending tabs from the top of each side wall of the carrier for use in a storage system that facilitates the adjustment and rearrangement of vertically-stacked components.
