Abstract:
A shelving storage unit (10) for supporting at least one of recorded-media and boxes (12) or the like containing recorded-media having a width (W) of greater dimension than thickness (T) of opposing side edges (14) and opposing ends (16) having an axis (18) extending through opposing side edges (14) which includes base (20) and frame member (22) supported by and extending upwardly from base (20) in which first support assembly (24) is secured to frame member (22) adapted for supporting first box (26) and second support assembly (28) secured to frame member (22) adapted to support second box (30), in which first and second support assemblies (24,28) are positioned at substantially the same elevation above base (20), to align opposing side edges (14) of first box (26) in substantial parallel relationship to opposing side edges (14) of second box (30) and to align at least a portion of end (16) of first box (26) with end (16) of second box (30) and member (32) supported by base (20) and interposed and spaced apart from first and second support assemblies (24,28) in which first and second support assemblies (24,28) are adapted to support portion (34) of first and second boxes (26,30) and permit another portion (36) of first and second boxes (26,30) to extend beyond first and second support assemblies (24,28) in a direction toward member (32) and in which member (32) is positioned to abut ends (16) of first and second boxes (26,30) and maintain ends (16) of first and second boxes (26,30) in a spaced apart relationship. Also, adjacent support assembly (38) secured to frame member (22) adjacent to first support assembly (24) and at a different elevation along frame member (22) above base (20) than first support assembly (24), in which adjacent support assembly (38) is adapted for supporting another box (40) in which adjacent support assembly (38) is positioned transverse to first support assembly (24) and position another box (40) in transverse relationship to first box (26) and member (32) supported by base (20) and interposed and spaced apart from first and adjacent support assemblies (24,38) in which first and adjacent support assemblies (24,38) are adapted to support a portion (34) of first and another box (26,40) and permit another portion (36) of first and another box (26,40) to extend beyond first and adjacent assemblies (24,38) respectively in a direction toward member (32) and in which member (32) provides an abutment for any first and another box (26,40) supported by first and adjacent support assemblies (24,38) in which member (32) is positioned to permit a portion of first box (26) and another box (40) to overlie one another.
