Multi-media storage system having a multi-component insert assembly

Abstract

A multi-media storage container assembled from electrically non-conducting materials and including an elongated rectilinear outer sleeve, or case, that defines a cavity in which a partitionable insert assembly, or drawer, resides to receive and securely store different types and sizes of computer data media in a dust-free, static-free environment. A plurality of columnar supports are located within the cavity and adjacent side panels to enhance the structural rigidity of the outer sleeve. The columnar supports extend through the outer sleeve to enable interconnection of the columnar supports of a first outer sleeve to those of, at least, a second outer sleeve, thereby enabling the creation of virtually, continuous column supports to enhance the stackability of storage containers. A plurality of tracks releasably couples to the columnar supports to provide a smooth sliding surface for the insert assembly. Additionally, the insert assembly comprises a base and a wall subassembly which work in conjunction to form a media reservoir for receipt of different types of media. The multi-media storage container further includes a face plate coupled to the insert to function as a front for the outer sleeve, while providing a user with an acid for inserting or removing the insert from the cavity.
