Abstract
A storage unit for storing recorded media that has a dual media storage row. The media storage unit has a support beam having means for hanging. The storage unit allows media to be stored in its original labeled container so that the face of the media container is exposed to outside view allowing the user to quickly identify the medium being searched for. The storage unit comprises a series of storage rows that are interfitted together. The user may add or remove storage rows to the storage unit to increase or decrease the storage capacity of the storage unit.
Claims17
A storage unit for storing recorded media, comprising:
- a horizontal support beam having means for hanging the unit and means for interfitting an additional component vertically;
- at least one storage row having means for storing the recorded media, the storage row having means for interfitting with the support beam so that the storage row interfits with and attaches to the support beam, the storage row also having means for interfitting additional components vertically so that additional storage rows may be attached vertically;
- at least one lever adapted to positively retain the stored recorded media in the storage rows.
A storage unit for storing recorded media, comprising:
- a support beam having a hook member for hanging the unit;
- a support beam extension extending vertically from the support beam;
- and an internal beam extending from the support beam extension;
- a media storage row having an external beam with an external beam opening and an external beam cavity, the internal beam being interfitted with the external beam and housed in the external beam cavity, the media storage row having a main beam, a plurality of first levers extending perpendicularly from the main beam;
- each first lever having a first hook extending from each first lever at an acute angle, a first ejector extending perpendicularly from each first lever, a first hinge located in each first lever adjacent to the main beam;
- a first ledge extending perpendicularly from the main beam and parallel to the first levers, a first lip extending at an obtuse angle from the first ledge;
- the first lever, the first ledge and the main beam defining a first storage area, so that individual recorded media may be stored and removed in the first storage area;
- the media storage row also having a media storage row extension extending from the first ledge and a media storage internal beam adjacent to the media storage row extension, so that a series of media storage rows may be in attached with each other.
