Media rack with alternating fixed and slidable cases

Abstract

The device system of the invention while in use is designed to include one stationary tray assembly with a plurality of non adjacent compartments for holding a first set of DVD cases or alike, spaced apart by a plurality of slidable carriers adapted to fit within the remaining compartments, for holding a second set of DVD cases. The slidable parallel carriers are joined at the front or the rear side of the storage system to act as a single slidable assembly including a frontal handle that allows for push-pull operations. The individual carriers and respective DVD cases carried by the sidable assembly are adapted to slidably engage in every other compartment within the separation walls of the stationary tray, while the remaining compartments of the stationary tray are adapted to hold stationary DVD cases.

1 - A device for storing DVD cases and alike, comprising: 
 a supporting base with a plurality of substantially equal adjacent compartments adapted for holding a single stationary case in one compartment and one case carrier member in an adjacent compartment;    wherein said compartment comprises a first and second parallel opposing side wall;    wherein said stationary case meaning a case that rests in one position until it is removed for use.    wherein said case carrier member comprises a base and a rear wall, and adapted to removably hold and transport one individual case.    wherein said case carrier members are substantially parallel, with a flat base and slidably mounted on said supporting base;    wherein said case carrier members are integrally joined at one of their extremities to provide for a single movable carrier assembly including a frontal handle.    
   
   
       2 - The device of  claim 1 , wherein the supporting base is in the form of a tray.  
   
   
       3 - The device of  claim 1 , wherein the supporting base represents the actual base member of a housing unit.  
   
   
       4 - The device of  claim 1 , wherein said slidable assembly is movable from a position in front of the stationary cases to an intermediate position where all cases are evenly aligned, to a position behind said stationary cases.  
   
   
       5 - A device for storing DVD cases and alike, comprising: 
 one stationary assembly and at least one slidable assembly;    wherein the stationary assembly is composed of a plurality of equal partitions for holding a first set of stationary cases into all non adjacent partitions, and wherein case carrier members from the said slidable assembly are adapted to engage within the remaining partition;    wherein said partitions comprising a substantially flat base and adapted to fit a perpendicular case adjacently to a slidable carrier member for holding another perpendicular case;    and wherein the slidable assembly is movable from a position in front of the stationary cases to a position behind the stationary cases.    
   
   
       6 - Storage device of  claim 5 , wherein said compartments include a substantially flat base and upwardly extending side walls.  
   
   
       7 - A storage device of  claim 5 , wherein said slidable carrier including a substantially flat base and upwardly extending side walls.  
   
   
       8 - The device of  claim 5 , wherein said supporting base represents the base member of a rack assembly.  
   
   
       9 - The device of  claim 5 , wherein said supporting base including means for fixing the base to a flat shelf.  
   
   
       10 - A storage apparatus including a combination of one stationary base assembly with a plurality of non adjacent stationary compartments for holding a first set of stationary digital media disk cases, spaced apart by a plurality of slidable carriers adapted to fit between the said stationary compartments for holding a second set of media cases, whereas said slidable carriers are longitudinally parallel and integrally connected at the front or the rear side of said storage apparatus to form a single slidable assembly with a frontal handle that allows for push-pull operations, and wherein the individual carriers with their respective cases of said slidable assembly are adapted to slidably engage in every other compartment of said stationary base, while the remaining compartments of the stationary base are adapted to hold stationary media cases.  
   
   
       11 - The device of  claim 10  wherein said slidable assembly is movable from a position in front of the stationary cases of said stationary base to a position behind the stationary cases of said stationary base.  
   
   
       12 - The device of  claim 11  wherein said stationary compartment including a substantially flat base and lateral side walls.  
   
   
       13 - A digital media rack for holding evenly aligned adjacent cases comprising two sets of interlaced odd and even cases, whereby only one of the sets is riding on a slidable assembly for moving in front of or behind the other set.
