  • High-density disk storage and retrieval cylinder
    Patent number: 7854332
    Abstract: This invention provides high-density storage for data storage media such as compact disks (CDs), digital video disks (DVDs), and similarly shaped objects. The design consists of horizontal storage pockets within a storage cylinder. Multiple pockets lie on a horizontal plane, and each pocket has a pocket opening on the perimeter of the storage cylinder. The pocket openings on each horizontal plane are shifted with respect to the pocket opening below it creating a spiral storage pattern around the periphery of the storage cylinder. Pocket openings are centered on notches that run vertically along the cylindrical perimeter of the cylinder.
