ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a compact disk receiving device which can be piled up, wherein the respective support plates of the receiving devices can be individually pulled out.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A conventional compact disk receiving device is shown in FIG.
1
and generally includes a base
10
and a cover
11
which is pivotally connected a side of the base
10
. An engaging member
12
is located at a center of the base
10
and a compact disk (not shown) is positioned on the base
10
by force-fitting the engaging member
12
with the central hole in the compact disk to let the compact disk be securely engaged with the engaging member
12
. In order to collect and manage the compact disks, a box-like receiving device
14
as shown in
FIG. 2
is developed, which includes a plurality of separated spaces
13
for respectively receiving the compact disk receiving devices
14
as shown in FIG.
1
. Nevertheless, the space
13
has to be large enough to receive the thickness of the assembly of the cover and the base of each compact disk receiving device
15
. Whenever the single compact disk receiving device
15
is taken from the space
13
, the users have to open the cover to access the compact disk.
The present invention intends to provide a compact disk receiving device that can be piled up and each receiving device has a support plate which can be independently pulled from the pile of the receiving device.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a compact disk receiving device and comprising a cover having two first lugs extending from two ends of a side of the cover. A first rod extends from an outside of each first lug. A shaft is rotatably engaged between the two first lugs and a first hook member extends from a side of the shaft. A base has two second lugs extending from two ends of a side of the base and each second lug has an aperture defined therethrough so that the two first rods are respectively engaged with the two apertures. A support plate is located between the cover and the base. An engaging member extends from the support plate and a second hook member extends from a side of the support plate. The second hook member is disengagably engaged with the first hook member.
The object of the present invention is to provide a compact disk receiving device that has a cover, a base pivotably connected to the cover and a support plate located between the cover and the base, wherein the support plate can be pulled out independently between the cover and the base.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a compact disk receiving device that can be piled up and connected with each other. The support plate of each compact disk receiving device can be pulled out individually.
