Apparatus for storing media

Abstract

An apparatus is provided for storing media, such as compact discs, or the like. A pair of spaced apart, vertically oriented supports each provide an axle support. A rigid horizontal mounting rod is supported by a pair of integral end axles, each of which extend colinearly at each end of the rod for rotational engagement with one of the axle supports. The rod includes a cylindrical surface between the end axles for providing a plurality of parallel, longitudinal flutes therein. A knob is fixed to one or both of the end axles for enabling rotating of the mounting rod. The vertically oriented supports may be sidewalls of a cabinet for enclosing the apparatus. A plurality of flexible bags for storing the media each include a peripheral edge and a pair of mounting holes positioned adjacent to the edge. The bags are of a thickness such that the edge of at least one of the bags fits within one of the flutes. Each flexible bag is made of a transparent or semi-transparent material, such that the media may be viewed through the bag when the media is stored in the bag. A pair of mounting straps engages one of the mounting holes in each of the bags and circles the mounting rod so that the bags are fastened in positions extending radially from the mounting rod.
