<p>An apparatus for accommodating box-like articles is disclosed, which comprises a case (12) open at least at the front for permitting a plurality of box-like articles [e.g., cassettes (11)] to be slidably accommodated through the front opening (13) independently of one another and in a plurality of rows disposed one above another, biasing means [e.g., compression springs (27) and (34)] for independently forwardly urging the box-like articles (11) accommodated in the case (12), locking means [e.g., heart-like cam groove (30c) and locking pin (36)] for locking the box-like articles (11) in their retreated positions in the case (12) against the biasing forces of the biasing means (27, 34), and stopper means [e.g., shoulder surface (40) of the case (12), front edge (14 sec ) of upper slide holder (14), upright surfaces (15c) of lower slide holder (15) and rear wall surface of recessed portion (19)] for stopping the box-like articles (11) such that these in a row partly project outwardly from the opening (13) of the case (12) to a smaller extent than that in the next lower row.</p> |
