A device (10) for storing, organizing and retrieving protective cases (70) that enclose optical and magnetic recording or recorded media. The device (10) consists of two major elements: a base member (12) that can be made in various configurations and at one or more protective case positioning members (20) that extend normal from the base member (12). The members (20) have one or more protective case aligning surface and can be made in various cross section configurations with the proviso that their aligning surfaces be formed contiguously and that they be designed to allow a protective case (70) to be slideably aligned between them. The device can also be made with a base member (12) having a case ejecting slot (30) that incorporates a protective-case ejection device (29). Additionally, the device (10) can have alphanumeric indicators placed on selected protective-case positioning members and/or directly on the protective case (70). The case (70) can also include an external, transparent flexible pocket (32) into which may be inserted an alphanumeric coordinating index card (33) to visibly coordinate or organize, one or more cases while engaged in the device.
A storing, organizing and retrieving device for protective cases enclosing optical or magnetic recording or recorded media, said protective cases having opposite sides that are similarly shaped, and said device comprising:
The device as specified in claim q wherein said base member is in a circular shape having an outer diameter and a circumscribed inner diameter circle, where said first protective-case positioning member is located near the edge of the outer diameter and the second protective-case positioning member is located opposite said first protective-case positioning member near the edge of the circumscribed inner diameter circle, and where opposite the second protective-case positioning member near the opposite edge of the inner diameter circle is located another second protective-case positioning member and another first protective-case positioning member is located opposite said another second protective-case positioning member near the edge of the outer diameter.
