Therefore, the holder can be placed in a cabinet with shelves for VCR's or DVD players, as well as in a wall unit or entertainment center
The rotatable holder may be produced in several sizes, such as a small and large size, and the holders can be stacked on top of one another to hold large collections of tapes, DVD's, and games. In addition, the rotatable holder may be motorized and remotely controlled. This allows the user to spin the holder to easily locate a particular item contained within. Finally, specialized cabinets may be made for the rotatable holder, providing a compact means to hold a variety of items in an attractive manner.
FIG. 1 is a three-quarter upper perspective view of the present invention, illustrating the principal components, shown for the purposes of example only.
FIG. 2 is a three-quarter lower perspective view of the present invention, illustrating the principal components, including the rotating assembly, shown for the purposes of example only.
Regarding both FIG. 1, which is a three-quarter upper perspective view of the present invention, illustrating the principal components, shown for the purposes of example only, and FIG. 2, which is a three-quarter perspective view of the bottom of the present invention, illustrating the principal components, including the rotating assembly, shown for the purposes of example only.
In the preferred mode, the rotating VCR tape, DVD video, and DVD game holder (10) is round in shape and comprises a top surface (12), bottom surface (14), rotating assembly (16) located upon the bottom surface (14), multiple VCR tape compartments (18) which each hold a VCR tape (20), multiple DVD movie compartments (22) which each hold a DVD movie (24), multiple DVD game compartments (26) which each hold a DVD game (28), and multiple spaces between compartments (30), which function to allow the user to place his or her fingers between the tapes or games to grab the same and pull them out of the compartments with ease.
