2093512 9207778 PCTABS00013 A storage apparatus (10) for holding containers such as those in which compact discs or tape cassettes are stored. The storage device of this invention includes a bottom member (11) a top member (13) that is spaced from the bottom member, and a pair of side walls (12) used to couple the top member to the bottom member. A retaining member (42) with a number of downwardly extending flexible fingers (43) is attached to the bottom surface of the top member. The flexible fingers extend downward and are dimensioned so that the distance between the surface of the bottom member and the finger is less than the height of the containers that the device is intended to store. The bottom member is formed with a main surface (16) directed toward the rear of the device and is formed with small ribs (16c) and a smooth surface (16a) that slopes downwardly from the main surface toward the front edge of the device. The storage apparatus is dimensioned such that the front ends of the containers which it is designed to hold extend out in front of the apparatus. When a container is inserted in the storage device of this invention, the container is prevented from sliding by either adjacent containers and/or the edges of one or more of the adjacent fingers. The container is removed by pushing downward on the exposed outer corner of the container. This motion causes the container to pivot outward way from the device where it can then be grabbed and pulled away.
