Abstract: A supporting shelf for compact disks includes at least a first tubular housing and a second tubular housing and each has a different inner diameter but a similar cross section. The second tubular housing that has a small inner diameter is disposed within the first tubular housing. Each of the first and second tubular housings has its opening directed upward for readily engagement therebetween. Each of the tubular housings is provided with a plurality of retaining slots at the outer wall and that are parallel to each other, wherein a CD can be readily inserted and retained by the retaining slots of the housings. When a plurality of first and second tubular housings are engaged with each other, a tower-shape supporting shelf can be configured. Each of the receiving slots can be directed upward and angularly. The engagement between the first and second tubular housing can be facilitated through retaining holes and pin-shaft or retaining ball and recess.
