Abstract
A storage device (1) for compact discs (3) which are placed in acrylic glass-like, file-box-shaped cases (2) is described. Here, these cases (2) can be inserted into holder elements (4) consisting of a frame (5) and an interior inserting device (6), and the holder elements (4) themselves can be displaced via pivot journals (11) in the hollow chamber (14) of a stationary T-shaped profiled section (13).
Claims8
A device for storing and holding compact discs (3) in cases (2) each having a respective hinge area, comprising:
- at least one vertically arranged holder element (4,4') for grasping selectively the hinge area or an opposite side of one of the cases (2);
- means, in an upper area of the holder element (4,4'), for permitting a lateral surface (2'") of the case (2) to be supported at least partly resiliently on a roof-shaped part (9) of an interior of the holder element (4,4');
- wherein the holder element (4) includes an interior U-shaped inserting device (6) and an exterior box-shaped frame (5) enclosing it, and wherein the interior inserting device (6) and the exterior box-shaped frame (5) are fixedly connected with each other in a lower area of the holder elements (4), and wherein the interior inserting device (6) is a predetermined distance from the exterior box-shaped frame (5) in the upper area of the holder element (4) and can be supported in a meander-shaped manner on the lateral surface (2'") of the case (2) of the compact discs (3) in the roof-shaped area (9);
- and wherein
- the holder elements (4) are provided with a pivot journal (11) which can be longitudinally displaced in a vertically disposed guide (13).
