Abstract
A phonograph record rack having a framework with upstanding pins for carrying on said pins elongate hinge clamps. The hinge clamps are of one piece extrusion reinforced plastic material being formed of two integral sections, an opening at its spine for mesh engagement with its associated pin and tensioned lips for holding a record album jacket. The hinge clamps are of substantially the same height as the jackets they carry and are adapted to secure in position an arcuate portion of the record itself. It is evident that each of the jackets is disposed in an upright position and can be readily swivelled for identification purposes.
