Description

The description

The invention relates to a magazine for storing CD cassettes according to the preamble of claim 1.

The CD storage systems currently on the market

can be divided into two groups.

In one group, CD cassettes are stored in boxes in horizontal

or stored vertically.

The second group includes holders in which the CD cassettes

stored vertically one behind the other, tiltable (leafable).

Box systems offer the possibility of holding single and double CD cassettes, but have the disadvantage that only the front of the individual cassette with the very small writing is visible, which makes it difficult to search for a single CD.

The tilting or flipping systems allow a good view of the cover, but the existing systems do not allow the magazine width to be changed in order to accommodate double CDs.

The object of the invention is to create a storage system which allows both browsing through the CD cassettes arranged one behind the other and tilting them, thus allowing the cover of the individual CD cassette to be visible and easy selection and access, and also allowing a change in the magazine width to store single and double CD cassettes in any desired location.

The solution to the problem is achieved by holding the individual CD cassette between two bars in a tiltable manner. These bars are removable, which means that space can be created for a CD at any point in the magazine .

An embodiment of the subject matter of the invention and modifications thereof are explained in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

From Fig. 1 - 3 it can be seen that a CD magazine consists of two rails mounted on, for example, a shelf. The individual CD cassette is held by dividers which consist of pins that are inserted into existing holes in the rails.

Fig. 2 shows how the individual CD cassettes are arranged one behind the other. The distance between the pins and the height from the base are such that the individual CD cassette can be easily tilted without touching the CD cassette next to it. By removing two opposite pins,
Space must be created for a double ID cassette, with the double cassette being held upright by the cassette in front and behind.

Fig. 3 shows the arrangement of the two rails (item 1) with the pins (item 2) located therein on a base plate (item 3) in a front view.

Figures 4 and 5 show how pins running through the right rail make it possible to extend the magazine.

In Fig. 6, an example of a movable magazine is shown in a perspective drawing. Two rails are connected to form a frame into which a base plate is embedded.

In Fig. 7, an embodiment of a movable double magazine is shown in a top view. It consists of a frame with recessed bonding, whereby the two magazine compartments are separated by a rail, on both sides of which there are insertion openings or continuous insertion openings.

The following drawings (Fig.8 - Fig. 15) show variations of the dividers.

From Fig. 8 and 9 it is clear how the divider is formed by a continuous rigid rod (item I) that is inserted from the side. The single CD cassette is held in the same way as in Fig. 2. By omitting individual rods, space can be created for double CD cassettes.

From Fig. 10 and 11 it is clear how the divider is formed by a flexible rod (item 1) which is inserted elastically into holes designed as blind holes. The individual CD cassette is held in the same way as in Fig. 2. By removing individual rods, a seam can be created for double CD cassettes.

From Fig. 12 and 13 it is clear how the divider is formed by a rectangular plate (item 1) which is inserted into grooves milled into the rail at the appropriate distance. The single CD cassette is held by two plates. By omitting individual plates, space can be created for double CD cassettes.

From Fig. 14 and 15 it is clear how the divider is formed by two rectangular plates (item 1) which are inserted into grooves milled into the rail at the appropriate distance. The individual CD cassette is held by four plates. By omitting individual plates, space can be created for double CD cassettes.

With the modifications of the dividers described in Fig. 8 to 15, an extension of the magazine according to the description of Fig. 4 and 5 is equally possible.
