Inventors:

Jan S. Gross - Tampa FL

International Classification:

A47B 6300

US Classification:

211 40

Abstract:

A wall mountable free-standing storage rack for compacts disks comprises an open framework forming a plurality of adjacent rectangular receptacles, each being sized to accept a compact disk when the disk is oriented with one of the disk's largest surfaces facing outward of the rack. At least one releasible latch is integrated into each of the receptacles for releasible retaining a disk therein. Each of the rectangular receptacles is formed from four elongated side members releasible joined to four corner members. Preselected ones of the corner members are connectable to other elongated side members for forming the adjacent receptacles. The corner members also include a pin and socket arrangement on a rear surface for attaching a mount to an assembled rack. The rack may be wall releasibly mounted using the mount in one form or be coupled to other racks in various angular orientations using the mount in other forms.

Abstract:

A magnetic track assembly including an elongate channel having an open side, an end wall, and two parallel side walls; a first magnet disposed within the elongate channel near an interior side of the end wall; a compartment defined within the elongate channel spaced from the first magnet; and a screen receiver disposed within the compartment and including a second magnet arranged facing the first magnet. In the magnetic track assembly, the first and second magnets are of opposite polarity and the screen receiver is loosely disposed within the compartment such that a magnetic bond is intact between the first and second magnets when the first and second magnets are close together and the magnetic bond is broken when the first and second magnets are pulled apart.
