ABSTRACT:
A retaining bar is disclosed for retaining plural removable storage media cartridges in a spaced-apart relationship in a horizontal or vertical storage cabinet drawer. The retaining bar preferably comprises a molded rubber elongated strip which is press-fit onto an internal divider wall or an upper rail of a cartridge storage drawer or shelf. The strip has a generally inverted "U-shaped" cross-section defined by two spaced-apart horizontally elongated vertical walls each having top edges joined by a convex arcuate upper wall, and having bottom edges angled to receive the internal divider wall of the drawer. An inwardly-protruding shoulder is provided in the space between the strip walls, which shoulder prevents the strip from riding upward off the drawer divider or rail when the device is in use. One or more laterally outwardly-protruding retaining ribs are provided, each having plural compression notches thereon to enable the ribs to compress inwardly when contacted by cartridges in the drawer. Filing Vs of small or large angles can be achieved, even in the same row of cartridges.
