Benefits of technology

[0006] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a modular storage device that may be quickly assembled and disassembled, that can minimize storage space after disassembly, and that is easily transported.

Problems solved by technology

Because the housing 11 of the conventional storage device 1 is typically designed as an integral unit, it cannot be assembled and disassembled such that it occupies a relatively large space during transport.

Embodiment Construction

[0015] Before the present invention is described in greater detail, it should be noted that like elements are denoted by the same reference numerals throughout the disclosure.

[0016] Referring to FIGS. 2 to 4, the first preferred embodiment of a modular storage device 2 according to the present invention is shown to comprise a housing 21, and a plurality of disc holders 22.

[0017] The housing 21 includes two elongated vertical wall panels 210 and two elongated horizontal wall panels 210′ which intersect each other to define a plurality of compartments 23 and to form pairs of vertical and horizontal walls 214, 215. Each of the vertical and horizontal wall panels 210, 210′ is formed with two spaced-apart slits 211 at locations where the vertical and horizontal wall panels 210, 210′ intersect each other.

[0018] Each of the disc holders 22 is disposed in one of the compartments 23, and includes a pair of substantially parallel plate members 220 which are spaced apart from each other. Th...

Abstract

A modular storage device includes a housing having a plurality of compartments, and a disc holder disposed in each compartment. The disc holder includes a pair of substantially parallel plate members which are spaced apart from each other. The plate members include confronting faces, and a plurality of spaced apart ribs which project from the confronting faces in opposite directions and which are aligned along directions transverse to the confronting faces. The disc holder is removable from the compartments.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The invention relates to a storage device, more particularly to a modular storage device that may be quickly assembled and disassembled. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] Referring to FIG. 1, a conventional storage device 1 for storing CDs, VCDs, DVDs, etc. comprises a housing 11 and a partition plate 12 mounted within the housing 11 so as to divide the housing 11 into two compartments. The housing 11 has two opposite side panels formed respectively with a series of guide rails 111. The partition plate 12 has two opposite faces formed respectively with a series of guide rails 121 that are aligned horizontally with the corresponding guide rails 111 of the housing 11. The discs can be inserted one by one into two horizontally aligned spaces, each of which is defined by a pair of adjacent guide rails 111, 121. [0005] Because the housing 11 of the conventional storage device 1 is typically designed as an i...
