A first horizontal cross member is removably attached at opposite ends in corresponding openings in the first and third columns, and a second horizontal cross member is removably attached at opposite ends in corresponding openings in the second and fourth columns. A first spacer member is removably attached to the first support construction via two rearward pegs in two openings in the first column. With an end of a third horizontal cross member attached to a forward peg of the first spacer member, the vertical plane of the third horizontal cross member is spaced between the vertical planes of the first and second columns. Similarly, a second spacer member is removably attached to the first support construction via two rearward pegs in two openings in the third column.

Abstract: A storage device comprising a base, the base including at least one elongated member, the elongated member or members being arranged to engage, in use, a holding device in the form of an element having a peripheral slot able to engage the elongated member or members.

Abstract: A multipurpose rack structure. The structure includes a frame and two vertical plates which are provided on lateral plates of the frame, and inner sides of the two vertical plates are symmetrically provided with horizontal engaging rails that form rail clamps for insertion of compact discs and video tapes, etc. The structure includes movable lugs that are provided in the rail clamps. The movable lugs are provided with an elastic restoration function so that when articles are placed in the rail clamps, the movable lugs are pressed by a pressing force and the articles are held in place by an elastic clamping force. When the articles are taken out of the rail clamps, the movable lugs are released back to their original positions.

Abstract: An illuminated, magnified CD display system which allows a user to quickly and conveniently locate a specific CD in a CD rack of the system. The rack includes a viewing assembly slidably mounted on guide rods. The viewing assembly includes a magnifying lens and at least one electric light to magnify and illuminate the printed matter on the CD cases. The magnifying lens may be pivotally mounted on the viewing assembly.

Abstract: The present invention is a rack for articles such as compact discs (CD's) video tapes, audio cassettes, trays, boxes (media) and the like. The rack is made to fit the media size being racked and filed. What is new and novel about the present rack is that it provides means to freely slide the media directly to a new position in the rack without having to remove media in the rack. This quick refiling to make room for additional media to maintain proper filing sequence and thereby maintain desired filing order. The rack will hold the media in any position: vertical; horizontal; upside down; and in a rotating filing wheel. The invention has opposing channel structures each with compressible elements therein such that media inserted between the fixed channels must compress the elements thereby creating a side-to-side holding (compressive) force sufficient to hold the media at any location along the rack without direct support as in shelves, clips, notches, and the like.

Abstract: A media storage device for storing a plurality of media, such as compact disks, audio cassettes, VHS cassette tapes, DVD cartridges, and ZIP disks. The media storage device comprises a tray including a bottom panel and a plurality of media storage bins. Each media storage bin includes a front panel and a first shoulder member. The first shoulder member includes first and second shoulders, and the second shoulder member includes first, second and third shoulders. Each storage bin can include six cavities, wherein each of the cavities supports at least one type of media format. The base and tray can include transportation guide mechanisms that allow the tray to be moved relative to the base to facilitate viewing and access to the stored media.

Abstract: An apparatus for supporting multimedia packages employs a corrugated support having at least one crowned surface for supporting the multimedia packages from below in a closely spaced side-by-side configuration. A pair of front and rear retainers confine the series of packages therebetween. The crowned surface includes a series of curved projections for defining a series of equally spaced apart notches disposed at intersections between adjacent ones of the projections to receive corner portions of the packages for supporting them in an inclined position and for enabling each of the supported packages to be repositioned to another one of said notches so that the packages can be flipped between forwardly and rearwardly inclined positions.

Abstract: A library apparatus is capable of enhancing the dimensional accuracy of locker frame structures to allow an accessor to surely carry out the insertion/extraction of a cartridge into/from a storage unit or a deck. Each of the locker frame structures is made up of a top board, a base and sheet metal columns vertically standing between corner portions of the top board and the base. Each of the sheet metal columns is fixedly welded to the top board and the base from the inside of the locker. The library apparatus is applicable to a large-capacity external storage system storing a large number of cartridges such as magnetic tape cartridges and optical disk cartridges.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and a support and device for compact discs utilizing the system. The device is made of thin flexible material such as cardboard, plastic or thin metal sheets being modular and collapsible. The device is in accordance with the standard sizes of the CD package, however, it would store also double and triple albums without making any changes. Due to its versatility it could also be used for video cassettes and similar objects.

Abstract: An integrally-formed coin holder formed of plastic material has a generally V-shaped structure, in end view, and resiliently flexible arms to permit coins to be packaged in and removed from the coin holders. The coin holder has a series of open pockets, which provide a multiple-point support for the coins in the holder and a perfect coin count every time. The coin holder may also comprise a plurality of coin holders preformed or joined to form a composite unit. A coin collecting tray having a plurality of fins extending upwards from a trough spaced in correspondence with the pockets of the coin holder provides a fast efficient way to collect and sort coins for insertion into the coin holder.

Abstract: An apparatus for opening the locks of a cassette, wherein the cassette is comprised of a plurality of structural elements, and wherein the locks have an actuation area, comprising a base, an actuation element and a plurality of positioning elements wherein at least one of the positioning elements is disposed upon the base such that when at least one structural element of the cassette abuts the positioning element, the actuation element may contact the actuation area of the locks.

Abstract: A power-driven disc storage case comprising an outer casing, a chassis, a rolling top, a plurality of disc brackets, two button switches, a micro high-speed D.C. motor, a transmission with safety protect mechanism, a main switch, and two lamps. Two discs are vertically provided on each of the disc brackets. A rolling top is opened and then the lamps installed inside are turned on so as to illuminate the disc at the front opening. The user can select a disc, press down the button switches (left or right) if it is not the target disc to be chosen by the user. The motor then drives the chain of the brackets to move the discs either left or right. The user does not release the push-button switch until a disc needed has moved to the front opening and takes out the disc.

Abstract: The invention comprises a storage system that facilitates the adjustment and rearrangement of vertically-stacked components comprising two oppositely-faced panels and a plurality of carriers having opposing side walls and a rear wall to provide a cavity for holding a unit to be stored, the carriers being stacked between the oppositely-faced panels in vertical array and being positioned relative to the oppositely-faced panels such that the carriers may be slidably moved in a vertical direction relative to the panels but positioned against removal from between the panels through the combination of a protuberance and recess interlock between the panels and each carrier, said protuberance being retractable from the recess to allow entry and egress of each carrier from the panels.
