DOUBLE CD STORAGE MEANS

Abstract: The interchangeable CD storage system, (DUCAL) is a storage system for both, single and double CD's. It consists of individual compartments for single CD's, which are partioned by spring parts. Single CD's can be slided between the spring parts. Double CD's can be stored in any 2 desired compartments for single CD's. The spring parts in the middle of 2 compartments for single CD's will be pushed down by introducing a double CD. The interchangeable CD storage system offers besides the possibility to store single and double CD's in any order without leaving a space, and while no part of the rack has to be loosened or moved to make storage of double CD's possible, the choice of horizontal of vertical storage.

Description: DOUBLE CD STORAGE MEANS riELD OF INVENTION : This nvention relates to a CD storage systen for both, double and single CD's.(also called hereafter -CD HOLDER.) THE "STORALL-DUCAL" CD storage βystest, allows to store together, In any order and without lea¬ ving a , both , single and double CD's. No part of the CD bolder has to be loosened or moved from the CD HOlder to sake this possible. A CD holder provided with the "STORALL DUCAL" CD storage system can be eaployed in both, horizontal and vertical position. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS : FIG 1.- is a section-vieuw upper sight of the "STORALL-DUCAL" CD holder with the springy parts (b) IG 2.- detail vieuw section uppersight of springy-parts action IG 3.- shows section of inside -frontsight of the positions and dimensions be¬ tween the springy parts (a)(b)(c)(d) (e) IG •*.- section upper-sight showing (f) IG 5.- is a fractio : front- sight of;. he CD holder. IG 6.- shows a fraction front-sight of tbe CD holder with stored single CD's (g) and double CD's (b=, springy parts (a) and (1). SUBSTITUTESHEET ISA/EP CD records are packed in individual plastic boxes.There are double and single CD's. The breadth of a package of one double CD is larger than the breadth of two boxes for single CD's. With the "STORALL-DUCAL" CD storage system, both, single and double CD's can be stored together in any order without to have to leave a blank.The CD holder can be employed in both,horizontal and vertical position. Host of the existing CD storage systems are made only for single CD's.Others are made for both, double and single CD's. In this case, storage space is divided in compartments for double CD's, and every com¬ partment is subdivided in two parts, so that every compartment for one double CD can hold 2 single CD's. Storage of double and single CD's together in any order, it's to say 1 single/1 double/1 single , is not possible. By the "STORALL-DUCAL" CD holder, two of the opposite walls of the CD holder ( top-wall/ bottom-wall or left/right side walls) (a) are provided with springy parts (b) The distance (c) between the springy parts is equal to the thickness of a single CD package. The breadth (d) of the springy parts is equal to the difference between the thickness of one double CD package and the the thickness of two single packages (e) The distance between the two opposite walls provided with the springy parts(f) is equal to the breadth of the CD packages , both, double and single packages (flat) A single CD (g) can be slided between the springy parts (b) while a double CD (h) will push-in the niddle of 3 next to each other placed springy parts (i) and will be hold by the 2 outmost springy parts of the 3 next to each other placed springy parts on each of the 2 opposite walls. The particularity of the "STORALL- DUCALL" storage system is that both, double and single CD's can be stored together , in any order, without leaving a blank, while no part of the CD holder has to be loosened or moved to make this possible. SUBSTITUTE SHEET ISA/EP

Claims: CLAIHS ; STORAGE OF BOTH j SINGLE AND DOUBLE CD'S TO¬ GETHER IN AKX ORDER AS WELL IN VERTICAL AS IN HORIZONTAL POSITION, WITHOUT LEAVING A BLANK, WHILE NO PART OF THE CD HOLDER HAS TO LOOSENED OR MOVED TO HAKE THIS POSSIBLE. •a*************** SUBSTITUTE SHEET AMENDED CLAIMS [received by the International Bureau on 21 August 1991 (21.08.91); original claim 1 amended (1 page)] A CD holder for both single and double CD's , consisted of compartments for single CD's , hich are partitioned by spring parts . 5 Single CD's can be slided between the spring parts . Double CD's can be stored in any 2 desired compartments for single CD's. Spring parts in the middle of 2 compartments 10 for single CD's will be pushed down by introducing a double CD. The interchangeable CD storage system offers besides the posibility to store single and double CD's in any order without 15 leaving a space , and while no part of the rack has to be loosened or moved to make storage of double CD's possible , the choice of horizontal of vertical storage.
