Abstract

A storage system comprises multiple units with combined features for storing, transporting and accessing planar media. The system comprises a container (library unit), modules, and a transport case. The module has expandable linked pockets for separating and protecting planar media elements. The modules allow a library of the planar media to be partitioned and stored into identifiable units. The container has particular features for guiding modules into parallel locations and retaining the modules in a substantially upright and closed position. Each container is configured to accept a plurality of the modules for storage. Removed modules may be fanned open in an accordian fashion exposing stored media for access. The modules are adapted to operate stand alone and adapted for inserting into and coupling to the covers of the transport case such that opening the transport case in-turn fans open the module allowing access for media retrieval or storage.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

[0001] This application is related to the commonly owned copending U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60 / 524,608, “Storage System for Storing, Accessing and Transporting Planar Media,” filed Nov. 24, 2003, and claims the benefit of its earlier filing date under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e).TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present invention relates in general to systems for storing, retrieving, and transporting planar media comprising paper documents, business cards, credit cards, compact disks (CDs) and digital versatile disks (DVDs). BACKGROUND INFORMATION

[0003] “Planar media” means media for storing information on a two dimensional plane surface in a human or machine readable form, wherein the dimension of the plane surface is substantially larger than a thickness dimension of the media, such as CDs, DVDs, sheets of printed material, and plastic cards having magnetic strips. For example, compact disks (CDs) are a popular planar media for storing au...
