A system for storing a set of disks, each disk having a first major surface and a second major surface opposed to the first major surface and defining a uniform central aperture. The system comprises a set of spacers, any one of which is adapted to cooperatively engage any of the others. A first one of the spacers is placed on the first major disk surface in a first position and orientation and a second one of the spacers engages with the first spacer by being placed on the second major disk surface in a position and orientation coincident with the first position and orientation except for being spaced apart from it by the thickness of the disk. In this configuration, the first one of the spacers is retained on the first major surface and the second one of the spacers is retained on the second major surface.
A system for storing a set of disks, each disk having a first major surface and a second major surface opposed to said first major surface and defining a uniform central aperture, said system comprising a set of spacers, any first one of said spacers adapted to cooperatively engage any second one of said spacers when said first one of said spacers is placed on said first major surface in a first position and orientation and said second one of said spacers is placed on said second major surface in a position and orientation coincident with said first position and orientation except for being spaced apart from it by the thickness of said disk, so that said first one of said spacers is retained on said first major surface and said second one of said spacers is retained on said second major surface.
A method for placing a set of disks into spaced physical engagement with one another, each disk having a first major surface and a second major surface opposed to said first major surface and defining a uniform central aperture, said method comprising,
A spacer adapted to be used in the storage of CD-ROM style disks, said spacer comprising:
