Abstract
A modular storage rack for optical disc storage cases consisting of a plurality of rods extending between, and supported by, a pair of side frames. A slide abutment is removably connected to at least one of the rods for positionable sliding movement therealong, such that the abutment acts as a vertical support when less than the maximum number of cases is positioned upon the rack. Each side frame includes a groove arrangement in the top and a mating tongue arrangement at the bottom such that plural side frames may be stacked one upon the other in a stable manner. Each side frame also includes a tube support holes at each side thereof sized to receive an associated one of the rods. As such, the rods may be inserted within the receiving holes of two side frames to define a rack of single unit length. Thereafter, an additional pair of rods may be inserted into the receiving holes on an opposite side of one of the previous side frames, and a third side frame connected to the free ends of these additional rods. With this arrangement, a rack having two units length is provided by using only three side frames.
