The system comprises two circular display units which have support orifices for the folding reception of a number of disc-type printing plates. These support members are provided with two legs, connected to each other in a right angle and surrounding the disc in two of their side walls. Stroke members extended diagonally are provided on these legs, with the intention of improving strength and guiding the discs during insertion into the support member. Members in the form of "U" are provided in the horizontal leg, fier these serve only for purposes of identification. GT3-tt-2.2fil.209 refers to a storage system for compact discs of the so-called fin type, for example, which comprises a lozenge tray placed hop on a table or the like, said tray loading A number of pivotally supportive rabies support members for the reception of cases will hold compact discs. The cases are supported on the support members under the influence of gravity. The problem on which this document is based is how to open the cases, especially the cases > For double CDs, remove and insert the compact disc, while the case is still placed on the support member. The support member consists of a base plate and two side walls defining a space to receive one of the side walls of a compact disc case, together with two erect literal plates covering or a pair, perhaps a tecium >; (il or similar, from another sidewall of each case \, \ [- \ compact disc, the problem on which the invention is based »< co-simplify- these known compact storage systems retaining > at the same time a secure support satio factories of the cases once placed in the torpor + is, as well as the easy removal of the support members or insertion in them In accordance with the invention, this problem is solved for each support member comprising a series of two separate guide shoes, each shoe comprising a pivot pair + e for pivotal securing of the same on one of the rails, and a supporting support carrying a substantial cutting response. To the dimensions of the corners of the real cases, the series of two guide shoes mentioned being designed for mutual cooperation, one receiving one of the two opposite corners of the case, one member being the connected one. or at least one of the guide shoes to exert a compression pressure on the case. The members of < -o? orte of the prior art are quite long and completely surround by- At least one and a half side wall of the es + uche, usuallyrnen + e two side walls, sometimes even all the cuat or side walls. In this way, the fact that these known support members can be reduced to two very small Zc? s of guie, including appropriate elastic members, said guiding shoes holding only two corners of the case, is quite surprising; in all cases it goes beyond the prevailing conventional teaching. The invention also relates to a guide shoe to be used in the shelf to the actuator of the invention, said guide shoe generally comprising a pivot part and a support part carrying an interior cut substantially corresponding to the dimensions of the corners. of a uche. Although it may be slightly inclined for any practical physical reason, the pivot axis defined by the pivot portions of two guide shoes designed for cooperation is preferable and substantially vertical. c, however, said pivot axis could even be substantially horizontal, since the portaestuches of the invention is also in principle suspended, for example, e] by + aes + uches having a general total extension perpendicular to that described above and as shown in the included drawings. The precise construction of the rails is highly variable. Basically, a profile of a transverse section generally in the form of "L", is technically and completely satisfactory, since it compresses an erect vertical portion to be hung with screws or the like in a wall, and a base por-cion generates horizontally f ^ ra the ecopl < ?

In this embodiment, the mounting rails are mounted on a wall or the like and the rails carrying the securing means for the support members are then combined < On the mounting rails, using for example a pawl or slide locator system, many materials of manufacture, such as plastic or metal, are available for the rails. Basically, what is required is that the material can be placed on the rails. resist The load corresponding to the stored cases Among the typical materials that can be used are: aluminum or aluminum alloys and stainless steel Materials for example are, for example, stainless steel 304 or PlMgSi 0.5. For any internal mounting rail "Separated, a lower quality of iron 1203 is satisfactory, the peels are properly formed using standard crimping and bending machines, and many fabrication materials are available for the guide shoes. by injection using hard plastic The preferred plastic is ti or Noryl, model PPO (femlen oxide resin, preferably reinforced fiberglass to avoid shrinkage), supplier: Tuesen &Funk Lyngby, Denmark.

No restrictions are imposed -in terms of the number of support members or the size of the cases in the case holder of the invention. But basically, the type of box needs its own by + uches .. The number of support members corresponds to the storage of 30 simple cases for compact discs. By combining the portaestuccas of the invention in a modular system, more than 300 single CD cases can be accommodated in less than almost Lrn2,. When not being used, the por-taestuches of the invention is very neutral; For example, it is easily visible and in some way merges with the wall. The pivoting part of the guide shoe may vary - for example, it may be generally cylindrical, spherical or conical. The only thing that matters is its ease of pivoting in relation to the rail. Regarding the support of the guide shoe, The important thing is that it comprises an internal cor- responding, which corresponds as much as possible to the dimensions of the current status. In the case of simple cases for compact dimensions, a cut in the guide shoe of the approximate dimensions -11 x 10-12 x 5-7 rnrn (width x depth x to tur) is widely satisfactory, the thickness of the wall being as small as possible, generally for economic and aesthetic reasons, but certainly ensuring a enough resistance. A small slack is required. The outer contour of the highly variable guide shoe. Examples! - ipicos are eviden + es of the attached drawings. The elastic member connected to at least one of the guide shoes has been shown to be necessary to securely hold the cases in place. Any type of elastic member can be used, for example, a compression spring connected to the upper-and / or lower guide shoe and exerting vertical pressure on the case. A similar effect can be obtained by placing, for example, an appropriate plastic material such as the rubber, in the cut of the guide shoes as in the bottom of the rails. However, a leaf spring type support member that exerts a generally horizontal pressure, as well as any desired combination thereof, can also be used. A fully sati compression spring is made of standard rope DIN 17221, class 0, 0.5 mm; corresponding to pressure under the load at 400 g. The dependent subclaims refer to preferred embodiments of the por + aes uches and of the guide shoes of the invention, some of which are described in more detail below: Although not necessarily necessary, the provision of a non-skid element or coating + Eoi friction build-up on at least one of the interior surfaces of the raceway of at least one of the shoes (he guides, further improves the safe support of the cases between the guide shoes, with a considerable risk More l of the cases will come out and fall when someone is looking for the desired case, moving the portaestuches back and forth.You can use any friction-inducing material, for example different types of plastic material. or of particles, which can be sprayed onto the surface in a regular or irregular pattern, or the actual surface can be provided with any rough surface profile. ropiado Preferably a thin sheet (approximate thickness of 0.80 mm) of the Buinpon elastomer (supplier: 3M) is glued on the corresponding depressions formed in the inner side of the bottom of the shoe of the lower guide shoe and adi citonally to the cover Upper of the upper face of the cut of the upper guide shoe. In a first preferred embodiment, the pivot part of the upper guide shoe - is generally a pin or a pin-type extension comprising a depression for coupling under pressure within the cut of corresponding holes in the rail. In a second preferred embodiment, the pivoting part of both guide shoes is generally cylindrical. The means for the insertion and coupling thereof in the holes of the rail are preferably radially extended bolts, the holes being drilled or punched in the rail having a corresponding slot. Preferably, the pivoting part of the lower guide shoe comprises an upper cylindrical part and a lower cylindrical part of smaller radius, being provided in the upper cylindrical part - the radially extended body, carrying the lower rail - an assembly of upper holes, the radius of which corresponds to the radius of the upper pair-t of the guide shoe, and a slot being connected to each upper hole- corresponding to the radial extension in the guide shoe, and a lower set of holes, the radius of which corresponds to the radius in the inner cylindrical part of the guide shoe; a compression spring being supported on this lower cylindrical part of the same, said spring having a radius between the radius of the upper and lower hole assemblies in the rail, respectively.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS fl continuation, some preferred modalities of? The invention is described in more detail, the reference having been to the attached drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a perspective view of the preferred embodiment of the product of the invention; Figure 2 is a cross-sectional side view of another embodiment referred to showing with greater trellis the insertion of a case between a set of guide shoes; Figure 3 is a view corresponding to the figure 2, the case having been removed; I í FIG. 4 shows a front view of a referenced embodiment of the main guide shoe; Figure 5 is a picture from above corresponding to Figure 4; and Figure 6 is a front view of a preferred embodiment of the upper guide shoe. The case of FIG. 1 comprises two general rails in the form of a "U", namely, a top rail (1) and a bottom rail (2). These rails are designed to be hung on a wall, the means to do so, but they are not shown in this figure. The upper rail is provided with a number of holes (3) for the pivotal coupling of a number of upper guide shoes (4). The lower rail is provided with two series of holes, namely, upper holes (5) of a first radius and lower holes (fi) of a second smaller radius will trust the pivot coupling of number of guiding shoes to interior (7) Each series of three holes (3, 5 and 6), designed to cooperate in the reception of a case, has a common vertical axis (14). Four cases (11) are shown, and the possibility of movement in the porfaesf uches is also illustrated. Two corners (12 and 13) of the case visually opposite are shown inserted between the upper guide shoe and the nose (4 and 7, respectively), at the end of a side view, the support part of the guide shoes has the outer shape of a triangle reetang? l ar-. The pivoting part of the lower guide shoe is cylindrical, "undertaking a cylindrical upper part (0) and a cylindrical inner part (9). The radius of the part i-iJin pcrt t smaller corresponds to the radius of the legs. lower holes (r >), and the radius of the cylindrical top fiarte corresponds to the radius of the upper holes (5). A spring of (10) is shown in the lower cylindrical part. For the insertion of a case in the por-taestuches, the lower corner (13) of the case (11) is placed inside the lower guide shoe- f 7) and a slight downward pressure is exerted against the action of the spring (10); where? the spring is compressed. Subsequently, the upper corner (12) of the case (11) is placed inside the upper guide shoe (4), and the case is released, ensuring the spring force its secure support between the guide shoes. < : l. To remove a case, the procedure is reversed. If desired, the rail may be provided with an extension to cover the tips of the interior indicium part, which protrude in the downward direction. In the embodiment of FIGS. 2 and 3, the pivoting part of the upper guide shoe (4) is generally recessed, and a depression or restriction (19) is provided, making possible the pressure coupling of the guide shoe inside. The holes (3) in the upper ring (11). In this mode, the rails generally in the form of "U" (1, 2) are shown mounted on mounting rails, which are screwed directly onto the wall. The support fiarte p (15) of the -apatas de juia in this modality, has a somewhat more elaborate general exterior outline. Figures 4 and 5 show a vanishing of the lower guiding shoe (7) of the figures (1-3), in which the cut of the supporting pair has lateral walls (16) of L conical, both in the downward direction (Fig. 4) and in the inward direction (Fig. 5), with the purpose of improving the secure support, in this case, of simple cases for compact discs and to facilitate their insertion. In addition, an anti-skid coating (17) is shown. Figure ñ shows a corresponding upper guide shoe. This guide shoe must be mounted with the base facing up on the top rail (1). The side walls (16) of the cut are not tapered. An antidrug coating (17) is shown. In FIGS. 4, 5 and 6, an extended radius bolt (18) is most common in the cylindrical part of the guide shoes (7) and (4). This bolt, which can be widely waved in shape and circumference as well as in radial extension, should be used only during the assembly of the tats, that is, when the guide shoe is coupled and uncoupled in relation to the rail. . The smaller this type extension is, it is better, with the purpose that the guide shoe does not come out of its coupling with the rail when the portaestuches is movi o.
