Abstract
The present invention is a CD storage module (20) that includes an upper support (24) and a lower support (22) that are interconnectable horizontally and vertically, and individual CD storage cases (40). The CD storage cases (40) are insertable individually into the upper support (24) and the lower support (22). The CD storage case (40) includes a partition (44) and two outer covers (50 and 52). This configuration forms two compartments wherein a CD (62) may be placed in one compartment and an informational pamphlet placed in an opposite compartment. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the partition (46) and the outer covers (50 and 52) include bevels (76) for contacting only an outer periphery of a CD (62); the bevels (76) prevent scuffing or otherwise damaging a major surface area of the CD (62) as the CD (62) is being inserted and removed. In addition, the CD storage case (40) includes a CD storage case door (42) hingedly secured to the CD storage case (40). The CD storage case door (42) preferably includes at least one set of pincher forks (58) and pincher fork nubs (60), wherein when the door (42) is rotated from its substantially horizontal position to its substantially vertical position, the CD (62) is partially removed from the compartment to be readily grasped by the user.
