  • Patent number: 4715669
    Abstract: One side of a cabinet drawer shelf is at least partially closed off to prevent storing access while the other side is open for storing microfilm cartridges or other items. A cartridge is of such dimensions as to extend outwardly from the shelf confines enabling ready access for removal and replacement. An elongated pressure exerting retention strip located in the top portion of each shelf is constructed of a flat sheet-like strip of a springlike material having a plurality of transfer slits therein. The strip lateral edges are confined in a pair of spaced apart grooves distending the strip to engage and hold cartridges on the shelf. In another version, a strip of a plastic foam is located on either the shelf top surface with a thin strip of a material having low frictional sliding surface thereon, such as Mylar, for example, being located thereover.
