Container for magnetic tape cassettes

摘要

A container for magnetic tape cassettes comprises a plurality of receptacles for slidably receiving respective cassettes. Each of said receptacles comprises tracks provided at mutually opposite side walls or partitions. In order to provide a container which permits a convenient handling of the cassettes and from which the cassettes can easily be taken, each receptacle provides fulcrums about which the associated cassette can be tilted. Each track defines a throat, which has a width that is slightly in excess of the thickness of a cassette so that a cassette contained in each receptacle can be tilted about fulcrums formed by the tracks at the throats. The tracks of each receptacle comprise stops, which limit the extent of the tilting movement of the cassette. Each cassette is supported by laterally spaced apart supports provided adjacent to the bottom of the container.
