Benefits of technology

[0009]Still another object of this invention is to provide a media storage device, as aforesaid, that protects each disc stored therein from scratches or other damage that would otherwise be caused by contact with another disc, contact with a desk surface, or contact with the storage device itself.

Problems solved by technology

They are used daily, but are somewhat fragile and subject to being scratched or otherwise damaged.
However, these cases often become lost or damaged and discs simply get stacked on top of one another, placed in incorrect cases or jackets, or lost themselves.
Although assumably effective for their intended purposes, the existing devices do not provide an organized and protective structure that also positions the discs in an easily readable and accessible configuration convenient for a user's access.

Embodiment Construction

[0015]A media storage device 10 according to the present invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. 1a through 2 of the accompanying drawings. More particularly, the media storage device 10 includes a generally “H” shaped configuration having a first 12 and second 16 upstanding / vertical wall. Each vertical wall 14, 16 includes upper 12a, 14a and lower 12b, 14b edges, respectively. It should be appreciated that upper and lower edges have complementary configurations such that multiple storage devices 10 may be stacked atop one another as shown in FIG. 2. At least one vertical wall defines an aperture 16 by which the device may be mounted to a wall with a fastener.

[0016]A shelf 20 having opposed sides is attached to inner surfaces of the first 12 and second 16 vertical walls and extends therebetween in a generally horizontal configuration. The shelf 20 defines a plurality of slots 22. Preferably, each slot extends substantially between the first 12 and second 16 vertical ...

Description

REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application makes reference to provisional patent application No. 60 / 850,516, filed Oct. 10, 2006, and titled Audio / Visual / Data Media Storage Apparatus.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to media storage devices and, more particularly, to a media storage device for storing audio, visual, and data media discs in an organized, easily accessible, and protective device.[0003]Compact discs are used to store digital information such as music, movies, games, software, pictures, and the like. They are used daily, but are somewhat fragile and subject to being scratched or otherwise damaged. Typically, media discs are protected by plastic cases or jackets. However, these cases often become lost or damaged and discs simply get stacked on top of one another, placed in incorrect cases or jackets, or lost themselves.[0004]Various devices have been proposed in the prior art for organizing or storing compact discs and...
