ABSTRACT:
A storage and display rack for rectangular cases with flat sides and a thickness less than their height or width, such as audio or video tape cassettes or compact disc storage boxes. The storage rack is a rigid perimeter frame consisting of two side rails, with a series of holes in a specific pattern, into which are inserted pins. The rails are connected by means which keep them in spaced parallel relationships such as a front and rear strut. The distance between the side rails is slightly greater than the width of the case to be stored while the distance between the front and rear struts is only limited by the number of cases to be stored or the cabinet in which it is to be housed. When inserted into the storage device, the cases are held at near their bottom between pairs of pins which allow the cases to stand in a substantially upright fashion either leaning forward or backward, permitting the user to read the title imprinted on the face of a case as the ones in front are rotated forward. The horizontal spacing of the holes on the side rails determines the back and forward angle of inclination and repositioning of the pins permits container of different thickness to be stored and displayed in the same rack. By permitting the cases of different thickness to be stored in the same rack and by permitting the user to reposition the pins to suit different sizes of cases, the rack allows for greater storage flexibility than existing products. The rack may be placed on any surface such as a counter top, table top, or shelf in a cabinet.
