Abstract: An organizer for orientation of desk top items includes a frame, having a front, back and two sides, for receiving a plurality of modules, orienting the modules vertically within the frame between to two sides and enabling access to the modules from the frame front and a plurality of modules and a bracket for attaching one of the frame sides to a generally vertical surface. The bracket includes a body for engaging the frame, a bendable tab extending from a top of said body for attaching said body to a top of the computer monitor, and a rear tab, hingeably attached to a rear of said body, for attaching said body rear to a side of the computer monitor, the hingeable attachment enabling stabilization of the body rear at a spaced apart relationship with the computer monitor side. One of the modules may include interface connections for contact with a computer.

Abstract: A jewel case for an optical disc is provided which includes a bottom and a top interconnected by a hinge for enabling manual opening and closing of the case. A hub is formed in the bottom and includes a widened base for engaging a disc central aperture, and arcuate ribs are also formed in the bottom in a circular pattern are provided for accommodating the optical disc therebetween. The ribs have a height of a greater thickness of an optical disc for engaging the top to enable the optical disc to float between the top and the bottom of the case upon closure. The ribs have spaces therebetween for enabling fingertip access to the optical disc for removal of the optical disc from the hub. Dimples, formed in at least one of the top and the bottom outside of the arcuate ribs and positioned proximate each of the spaces between the ribs, are provided for preventing contact of the top and the bottom with the optical discs upon compression between the top and the bottom over the spaces between the ribs.

Abstract: An apparatus for applying labels on optical discs having a base capable of supporting a label. A plunger element capable of supporting and positioning an optical disc with respect to the label and movably coupled with the base so to be capable of affixing labels on the optical disc concentrically with the rotational axis of the optical disc. A biasing element in cooperative arrangement with the base and the plunger element so as to bias the plunger element toward a position above the base. A locking mechanism that locks the plunger element into a fixed position relative to the base. A foam element positioned on the base and adapted to keeping the label horizontally oriented. A nonskid surface positioned on the bottom of the base for limiting undesired movement of the base. A positioning element coupled with the plunger element and/or the bottom of the base for positioning the biasing element within the base.
