Multi-media storage device

Abstract

A device for storing media comprises at least one frame module having a support surface adapted for receiving media thereon, a peripheral ledge around the support surface for preventing the media on the support surface from sliding off therefrom. The frame module also has a support structure for allowing the frame module to support another frame module similar thereto in a stacked relationship, such that the device is modular and expandable. The device also includes a cover module for covering the support structure of an uppermost one of the frame modules. Labels each having respective reference indicia thereon are each adapted to be secured to a respective one of the media, with a reference list being provided to receive information relating to a content of each one of the media in relation to the reference indicia on the label secured thereto, whereby the media in the device are classified. The device is open along both sides thereof extending between end walls of the frame module such that media can be removed from or inserted in the device from two opposite sides.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A device for storing media, comprising: 
 a frame module having a support surface adapted for receiving media thereon, a peripheral ledge around said support surface for preventing the media on said support surface from sliding off therefrom, said frame module having also a support structure for allowing said frame module to receive thereon another frame module similar thereto in a stacked relationship, such that said device is expandable; and    a cover module for covering the support structure of an uppermost one of said frame modules.    
     
     
         2 . A device for storing and classifying media, said device comprising; 
 a casing having a support surface adapted for receiving media thereon;    labels each having respective reference indicia thereon and each adapted for being secured to a respective one of the media; and    a reference list provided on said casing, said reference list being adapted to receive information thereon relating to a content of each one of the media in said casing in relation to said reference indicia of said label secured thereto, whereby the media in said device are classified.    
     
     
         3 . A device for storing media, comprising: 
 a frame module having a support surface adapted for receiving media thereon and having end walls, and a cover module disposed on top of said end walls and at a distance from said support surface such that media is received between said support surface and said cover module, said device being open along both sides thereof extending between said end walls such that media can be removed from or inserted in said device from two opposite sides.
