Abstract: An electronic media storage apparatus includes a lower housing having a floor, opposed side walls and a rear wall. A front wall is movable between open and closed configurations. The apparatus includes a cover having a top portion and opposed first and second sides extending downwardly therefrom. The lower housing side walls, lower housing rear wall, and the front wall collectively define a continuous lip at an upper end of the lower housing and an upper end of the front wall when the front wall is at the closed configuration. The cover is removably coupled to the lower housing and the front wall. When the front wall is at the closed configuration and the cover is coupled to the lower housing and front wall, a hermetic cavity is formed between the lower housing, the front wall, and the cover; the cavity being sized to receive an electronic media item.

Abstract: A device (1) for storing a plurality of protective cases (2) on a holding element (11). The protective cases (2) have an insertion opening (5) on one end face (4) for inserting flat information carriers (3), particularly CDs or DVDs, and a second face (16) resting at least partially on the holding element (11). To simplify the storage of the protective cases (2) and the removal or insertion of the information carriers (3), the holding element (11) has a tab (15) in an edge area, which engages with a recess (17) in the second face (16) of the protective cases (2), such that a corresponding protective case (2) can be pivoted from a storage position (9) into a removal position (10). In the removal position (10) the information carrier (3) can be removed from the protective case (2) without the necessity of detaching the protective case (2) from the holding element (11).

Abstract: A storage unit for disks includes a first end member, a second end member disposed in a parallel relationship with respect to the first end member. An extension mechanism having a series of interconnected members is connected between the first and second end members and co-operates with them to maintain the parallel interrelationship as the members are moved toward or away from one another. A connected array of pockets extends between the end members. Opposite end ones of the pockets are attached to a respective one of the end members. Each pocket is adapted to receive at least a portion of a disk. There are more pockets than there are interconnected members in the extension mechanism.

Abstract: A furniture piece which is both functional and aesthetically pleasing includes a storage compartment for storing compact disks, videotape cassettes and the like. The storage compartment includes fixed and adjustable dividers. The storage compartment is adapted to be concealed from view by means of a sliding top which is integrated into the furniture piece thereby to produce an uncluttered appearance as well as easy access to the contents of the storage compartment.
