Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005022540A1] A rotational filing system is described for storing and retrieving compact disks. According to one embodiment, a carrier is combined with an associated compact disk forming a unit included in a plurality of such units that are adjacent and rotate about a common axis on a support means. The carrier is a flat shaped body, the preferred carrier being disk-shaped equivalent in size to its associated compact disk, and includes a means for attachment to its associated compact disk that coincides with the circular hole provided in the center of the compact disk and has a tab containing indicia in reference to the associated compact disk, said tab extending beyond the periphery of said associated compact disk. In the case where the units are stacked instead of positioned upright, a second tab is provided for lifting a particular unit from the stack. Another embodiment includes an improvement wherein compact disks are stacked upon a spindle extending upright through the center hole of each disk wherein the carrier body underlying its associated compact disk has a circular hole that coincides with the compact disk hole, in place of the means for attachment, forming discrete units that rotate about the spindle. In another embodiment, the carrier is a disk-shaped pouch sized to contain its associated compact disk. In yet another embodiment, the preferred disk shaped carrier is applied as a compact disk file divider in the upright position without attachment means.
