The side plate 40 is provided at one end thereof with a receiving seat 49 for receiving one end of the rear plate 30. In other words, two ends of the rear plate 30 are received in the receiving seats 49 of the two side plates 40 such that the rear plate 30 and the two side plates 40 form one U-shaped unit 10. The U-shaped unit 10 so formed can be separated by an imaginary X-Y direction plane such that the U-shaped unit 10 is divided into symmetrical upper portion and lower portion. The
U-shaped unit 10 so formed can be further divided equally by an imaginary X-Z direction plane into symmetrical left portion and right portion.
The covers 20 have a size and a shape enough to cover the X-Y direction cross section of the U-shaped units 10. The covers 20 are respectively provided in each of the two X-Z direction surfaces thereof with two Z-direction female retaining structures 24 corresponding to the Zdirection female retaining structures 44 of the side plate 40. The covers 20 are further provided respectively in the bottom thereof with four Ydirection female retaining structures 28 (only two of them are shown in the drawings) corresponding to the Y-direction female retaining structures 48 of the side plates 40, and two X-direction female retaining structures 27 corresponding to the X-direction female retaining structures 31 of the rear plate 30. The covers 20 are still further provided in a rear surface 21 thereof with two Z-direction female retaining structures 24'corresponding to the Z-direction female retaining structures 32 of the rear plate 30.
After a plurality of the U-shaped units 10 are arranged in alignment along the Z-direction, six male retaining members 60 are used to fasten two adjoining U-shaped units 10 such that four of the six male retaining members 60 are used to fasten two adjoining side plates 40, and that two of the six male retaining members 60 are used to fasten two adjoining rear plates 30. Two adjoining Z-direction female retaining structures of two adjoining U-shaped units 10 are engaged jointly with one male retaining member 60. The covers 20 of the present invention may be used as a bottom cover or a top cover, which are respectively fastened with the first
U-shaped unit or the last U-shaped unit of the aligned U-shaped units 10 such that the bottom cover or the top cover is parallel to the X-Y plane, and that two adjoining Z-direction female retaining structures of the first
U-shaped unit 10 contiguous to the bottom cover are jointly fastened with one male retaining member 60, and further that two adjoining Z-direction female retaining structures of the last U-shaped unit 10 contiguous to the top cover are jointly fastened with one male retaining member 60. As a result, the container so formed is provided with one open side and five closed sides. In view of the fact that the female retaining structures of the U-shaped units 10 and the covers 20 of the present invention are identical in construction to one another, only the Z-direction female retaining structures 44 of the side plates 40 are exemplified to explain further the detailed structures of the female retaining structures as well as the engagement of the female retaining structures with the male retaining members 60.
As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the female retaining structure 44 is in fact a recess 71 which is located at an edge of the second surface 43 contiguous to the third surface 45 or the fourth surface 47. Located between the recess 71 and the third surface 45, or the fourth surface 47, is a wall 72 which has an upright height lower than a distance (depth) from the bottom of the recess 71 to the second surface 43. The upright height of the wall 72 is a straight-line distance between the bottom of the recess 71 to the wall top of the wall 72, as shown in Fig. 3.
The male retaining member 60 is of a construction similar to a single-span bridge and is composed of two support pillars 61 opposite to each other, and a connection portion 62 bridging the two pillars 61 which are retained in two recesses 71 of two adjoining Z-direction female retaining structures 44. In the meantime, the connection portion 62 traverses the walls 72 of two adjoining Z-direction female retaining structures 44. The male retaining member 60 has a shape and a size, which coincide with the shape and the depth that are formed by the two adjoining recesses 71 and the two adjoining walls 72. In other words, the two adjoining Z-direction female retaining structures 44 of the second surfaces 43 of the two adjoining U-shaped units 10 are filled with one male retaining member 60 to form a smooth plane, as shown in Fig. 3.
The Z-direction female retaining structures 44 are further provided with a protrusion 73 extending from the inner wall of the recess 71, whereas each of the two support pillars 61 of the mate retaining member 60 is provided in the outer surface thereof with one slot 63 corresponding in location to the protrusion 73. When the male retaining member 60 is engaged with two adjoining Z-direction female retaining structures 44, two protrusions 73 of the recesses 71 of the two adjoining Z-direction female retaining structures 44 are received in the two slots 63 of the male retaining member 60. As a result, the male retaining member 60 is securely engaged with the two adjoining Z-direction female retaining structures 44.
It is therefore readily apparent that the modular CD container of the present invention is composed of a plurality of the U-shaped units 10 which can be arranged in a variety of ways. As shown in Fig. 4, the modular container of the present invention is composed of six U-shaped units 10 in conjunction with 40 male retaining members 60 and 4 covers 20. In other words, the modular CD container so formed is formed of two columns and three rows, with the opening on the right-hand column facing toward the viewer of Fig. 4, and with the opening on the left-hand column facing away from the viewer of Fig. 4. As shown in Fig. 4, a portion (denoted by 60Y) of every two adjoining Y-direction female retaining structures of the CD container of the present invention is engaged with one male retaining member 60', whereas a portion of every two adjoining
Z-direction female retaining structures of the CD container of the present invention is engaged with one male retaining member 60". As a result, the CD container of the present invention, as shown in Fig. 4, is formed of two columns and three rows.
As shown in Fig. 5, a CD container of another embodiment of the present invention is composed of 4*n U-shaped units 10,16* (n+1) male retaining members 60, and eight covers 20, wherein the covers 20 are assumed transparent. The CD container so formed is capable of receiving the compact disk cases in all directions (east, south, west, and north). The U-shaped units 10 have a square cross section. In addition, the Y-direction female retaining structures 46 of the side plates 40 are identical in construction and in position to the X-direction female retaining structures 31 of the rear plates 30 with respect to a corner turning point C of the U-shaped unit 10, so that the side plates 40 and the rear plates 30 of two adjacent U-shaped units 10 can be fastened by male retaining members 60.
The CD container of the present invention, as shown in Fig. 5, is preferably provided with a rotating device under the bottom cover, by which the user of the CD container can turn the container to retrieve or store the compact disk case.
The CD containers of the present invention, as shown in Figs. 1-5, can be used to keep the compact disk cases or the magnetic disk cases of other shapes, such as ZIP and LS-120 magnetic disk with case, MO compact disk, in conjunction with an adapter which is dispose in a space formed by the grooves 42 of the two side plates 40 of the U-shaped unit 10.
The CD containers of the present invention, as shown in Figs. 1-5, can be used partially or entirely as the receiving seat of a drawer.
