Abstract: A holder for temporarily storing and displaying compact discs has a front, a back and a disc-receiving base sloping downward from the back to the front. The disc-receiving base has molded pockets or slots for receiving and vertically supporting the compact discs. Each pocket has a lead-in for quick drop-off of a disc and for guiding it to a trough at the bottom. The trough contacts the flat sides of the disc but does not touch the information containing regions on the programmed side. Three bumps extend inward from the walls of the trough for orienting the disc at a rearward leaning angle to enhance visual identification and to prevent the discs from tilting forward and becoming dislodged. Effective disc orientation is achieved by providing a straight slot, with no bumps, that is molded at the desired angle of disc tilt or inclination. The pockets have openings that are wider than the thicknesses of standard compact discs.

Abstract: A storage device stores computer data cartridges in individual boxes. The storage device can store multiple boxes of computer cartridges. Preferably six boxes are stored in one case. The case has two side walls, a back, an upper wall, and a lower wall. A case with multiple inner dividers forms inner chambers for holding and separating one box from another. An ejector is associated with each of the chambers. Each ejector has an elongated and tilted floor member extending from the front of the ejector to the back of the case. The upward tilted position of the floor member holds the boxes against the upper wall and back of the case and therefore does not allow unintentional ejection of the boxes. Pushing the ejector downward forces the tilted floor member downward, sliding and ejecting the box outward under its own weight. A comb-like clamp and ejector assembly has rear grippers that grip a downward edge of the back. Fulcrums upwardly tilt forward cantilevered fingers which form the floors of the chambers.

Abstract: A compact disc and data cartridge storage has a base, a back, a front and first and second opposite sides. A plurality of parallel ribs extend along a rear portion of the base and a lower portion of the back for separating stored data packages. The base has a rear portion and a front portion respectively sloped rearward and forward from a center line which extends between the sides. The front portion is longer than the rear portion. Ribs extend upward from the front and rear position to guide and separate the data packages. In one form, the ribs extend fully along the back portion and partially along the front portion for storing tall and thin objects between the ribs, leaning against the back portion with centers of gravity rearward of the central ridge before tipping selected thin objects forward and moving the center of gravity forward of the central ribs and allowing the thin objects to slide downward along the front portion of the base while held vertically between the ribs.
