Abstract
A storage system is provided which can effectively store a variety of magnetic storage elements such as VHS video cassette packs, standard audio cassette packs, Beta video cassette packs, 51/4' floppy disc packs, and CD (compact disc) packs alternately in a given space in a drawer. The drawer has opposite sides with vertical tabs spaced along each side to form spaces that closely receive opposite ends of a VHS cassette pack. A pair of cassette adaptors can each lie in spaces otherwise occupied by a VHS cassette pack, the adaptors having vertical ribs that store standard audio cassettes in an orientation perpendicular to that of the VHS cassettes. A pair of disc pack adaptors can be mounted at opposite sides of the drawer, these adaptors having walls forming wide slots for holding CD disc packs and narrower slots at the bottom of the wide slots for holding 51/4' floppy disc packs. The disc pack adaptors hold the disc packs at an incline from the vertical to reduce their height and facilitate reading of titles. The adaptors can be switched to angle the different disc packs in opposite directions from the vertical.
