ABSTRACT:
A container for holding data-storage devices of different sizes, e.g. disks of various sizes, cartridges and cassettes. The container is provided with a plurality of trays, preferably identical to each other, which rest on the container bottom, each tray having a platform for receiving and holding data-storage devices Each tray can be turned either side up in the container, and each has support members which are of different heights on its opposite sides so that the platform is positioned higher or lower in the container depending on which way it is turned. The trays are placed in the container in an orientation selected to support the particular size of storage devices to be placed in them; for taller storage devices, the tray is preferably turned so its platform is lower, and vice versa when shorter storage devices are to be stored, whereby the tops of storage devices of different sizes can be made to lie at about the same height for convenient viewing and grasping. Compartments are formed on each side of each tray, and these compartments are preferably of smaller area on the side of the tray which is uppermost when the tray is in the position which places the platform in its higher position, i.e. to receive shorter devices. The bottom of the container is preferably ridged, so it can be used to receive and hold especially large data-storage devices when the trays are removed.
