Abstract
A modular storage system for recording media, includes a plurality of folders and a plurality of slipcases for storing at least one folder. Each folder has orthogonal outer dimensions in common with each other folder, and each individual folder is formed from a single paperboard blank and capable of storing therein at least one recording media. Each folder defines a plurality of panels, at least one of the panels being capable of storing a recording media, and the panels being laterally turnable like the pages of a book. Each folder is characterized by the absence of any additional member joining together the panels.
Claims54
A modular storage system for recording media, said system comprising:
- (A) at least one folder,
- said folder consisting essentially of a single paperboard blank and being capable of storing therein at least one recording media;
- said folder defining at least two laterally aligned panels including a front panel and a back panel, said front and back panels cooperatively contributing to define a spine directly connecting said front and back panels, each of said front and back panels being of double blank thickness, and at least one of said front and back panels being capable of storing a recording media;
- all of said panels of said folder being defined exclusively by folding of said blank about foldlines, and said panels being laterally tumable like the pages of a book;
- said folder being characterized by the absence of any additional member joining together said panels;
- and
- (B) at least one slipcase,
- said slipcase being configured and dimensioned to store therein at least one folder.
