Storage Device

Abstract

A storage device for securing and readily displaying multi-media items generally including protective packaging. The storage device has a plurality of elongated recesses including a first elongated slot having a first width and depth and a second elongated slot having a second width and depth occurring along the same recess so that each recess including multiple elongated slots can host different sized multi-media items and associated protective packaging.

1 . A storage device comprising:
 an open body structure including at least one end wall;   a top surface;   a bottom surface; and   a plurality of elongated recesses extending from said top surface wherein one or more of said elongated recesses include:
 a first elongated slot having a first depth and width; and 
 a second elongated slot occurring along the same recess as said first slot, said second slot being narrower and deeper than said first slot whereby different sized items can be securely received within said first and second slots. 
   
     
     
         2 . The storage device of  claim 1  having a plurality of spaced apart elongated recesses including first and second slots. 
     
     
         3 . The storage device of  claim 1  wherein said body includes at least one handle. 
     
     
         4 . The storage device of  claim 1  wherein said at least one end wall includes first and second end walls and first and second transverse end walls. 
     
     
         5 . The storage device of  claim 4  wherein said at least one elongated recess extends from said first end wall to said second end wall. 
     
     
         6 . The storage device of  claim 5  wherein a backstop is provided adjacent said second end wall. 
     
     
         7 . The storage device of  claim 1  wherein said body structure includes a rotatable base disposed along said bottom surface. 
     
     
         8 . The storage device of  claim 1  further comprising an insert having an elongated slot for receiving a disk package, said insert sized to fit within said recess. 
     
     
         9 . The storage device of  claim 1  further comprising at least one elongated recess having a substantially larger width dimension than the other recesses. 
     
     
         10 . A storage device for CD/DVD packaging comprising:
 an open body defined by first and second end walls and first and second transverse end walls;   a top surface;   a bottom surface; and   a plurality of elongated recesses extending into said body from said to surface, said at least one elongated recess including:
 a first elongated slot having a first depth and width; and 
 a second slot occurring along the same recess as said first slot having a depth greater than said first slot and a width narrower than said first slot whereby each recess including both first and second elongated slots is capable of hosting CD/DVD packaging of different widths. 
   
     
     
         11 . The storage device of  claim 10  wherein said first slot is defined by first and second side walls, said first slot having sufficient depth such that said first and second sidewalls are able to maintain the CD/DVD package in a substantially upright position. 
     
     
         12 . The storage device of  claim 11  wherein said second slot is defined by first and second side walls, said second slot having sufficient depth such that said first and second sidewalls are able to maintain the CD/DVD package in a substantially upright position. 
     
     
         13 . The storage device of  claim 10  having a plurality of spaced apart elongated recesses including first and second slots. 
     
     
         14 . The storage device of  claim 10  wherein said body includes at least one handle. 
     
     
         15 . The storage device of  claim 10  wherein said at least one elongated recess extends from said first end wall to said second end wall. 
     
     
         16 . The storage device of  claim 15  wherein a backstop is provided adjacent said second end wall. 
     
     
         17 . The storage device of  claim 16  wherein said at least one elongated recess extends substantially across the entire body from said first end wall toward said second end wall. 
     
     
         18 . The storage device of  claim 10  wherein said body structure includes a rotatable base disposed along said bottom surface. 
     
     
         19 . The storage device of  claim 10  further comprising an insert having an elongated slot for receiving a disk package, said insert sized to fit within said recess. 
     
     
         20 . The storage device of  claim 10  further comprising at least one elongated recess having a substantially larger width dimension than the other recesses.
