ABSTRACT:
A reusable molded plastic package for securely holding and displaying cassettes and in particular audio cassettes. A housing forms a storage compartment and has two pairs of spaced ramps adjacent a front end opening which permits a cassette to be forced past the ramps and into the storage compartment, yet prevent removal of the cassette back out of the compartment through the front end opening. A lock retaining plate is movably mounted on the housing and is movable between a lock position where it covers another opening formed in the top wall of the housing and an unlocked position which enables the cassette to be removed from the storage compartment when sold at a retail store. After sale, the retaining plate can be moved to the locked position enabling the package to be reused with another cassette being loaded into the package by automatic loading equipment through the front end opening. In a modified embodiment an expansion zone is provided in the bottom wall adjacent the front end opening to facilitate the movement of the cassette past the ramps and into the storage compartment by permitting limited outward movement of the ramps.
