ABSTRACT:
A container for storing and selectively presenting video tape cassettes of substantially equal thickness and depth and either a first or a second height includes a longitudinally extending box having longitudinally extending rear, bottom and top walls and transversely extending end walls defining a storage area having depth in excess of the depth of the cassettes. Partitions are provided which define storage locations, each of which has a longitudinal extent slightly in excess of the thickness of the cassettes, with the thickness and spacing of the partitions being such that when cassettes are placed into two adjacent storage locations, the space between them is insufficient to accommodate a human finger. Transversely extending ejection members, each mounted to the rear wall and projecting into one of the storage locations, each have a contact surface which is movable from a first position to a second position and is adapted to contact the rear panel of one of the cassettes when the cassette is inserted into the storage location with the rear panel at the first position. The ejection members are placed under sufficient compression when the contact surfaces are moved, by a cassette forcing them from the first to the second position, that when the cassette is subsequently released, the ejection member urges it a sufficient transverse distance such that at least a portion of the front of the cassette may be grasped by human fingers. A spacing member is removably mounted within at least one of the storage locations for use in adjusting the height of the storage location to accept cassettes of either the first or the second height.
