Abstract: A passive humidity control device for a cigar humidor is generally rectangular in shape and has a lower reservoir portion which serves as a storage tank for a water supply, an upper evaporation chamber and a wide, flat ribbon-like wick that has a main body portion that sits within a trough along the length of the evaporation chamber. Opposing ends of the wick extend down into the reservoir through transverse wicking slots or conduits in the trough bottom wall. A central folded portion of the wick may also extend down into the reservoir through a central wicking conduit in the trough bottom wall, essentially separating the trough into two troughs and two evaporation chambers. A salt-based evaporative control paste is coated onto the main body portion of the wick within the evaporation chambers to regulate evaporation of water from the wick to a desired humidity.

Abstract: A compact disc rack assembly has a series of pivotally mounted panels positioned on a stationary support. The panels have a plurality of spaced ledges with outer lips, and the ledges are spaced from each other less than the overall dimension of the container being housed so that the container is stored at a slight angle to the panel and gripped by the lips of the ledge holding the container.
