Modular rack for compact disks

A rack that retains and rotates objects, the rack comprising:

• a loop formed solely from a plurality of inter-connected holders, each holder comprising means for frictionally retaining at least a portion of at least one object to be retained by said holder while exposing at least part of a retained said object for user selection and removal from said holder, and further comprising means for flexibly matingly inter-connecting with another said holder, wherein said loop is formed from flexibly matingly inter-connecting said holders;
• means for rotating said loop at a rotation speed and direction selectable by a user;
• a housing containing said loop and said means for rotating said loop, said housing including a base having at least one detachable side base member;
• wherein the means for frictionally retaining and the means for flexibly matingly inter-connecting extend from a base;
• and
• wherein the means for flexibly matingly inter-connecting is adjacent to a slot wherein the slot extends through the base.

A rotatable loop of displayable objects, the loop formed by matingly interlocking adjacent holders, wherein each holder can retain at least one of said objects, the loop comprising:

• first and second walls retained a spaced-apart distance from each other by a base wherein the walls are sufficient to admit and frictionally retain at least a portion of at least one object to be retained by said holder;
• a first holder-engaging mechanism extending from the base and adjacent to a slot wherein the slot extends through the base;
• a second holder-engaging mechanism;
• a first holder-engaging mechanism disposed to matingly interlock with the second mechanism an a second said holder when desired to form said loop;
• and said second holder-engaging mechanism disposed to matingly interlock with the first holder-engaging mechanism on a third said holder when desired to form said loop.
