ABSTRACT:
A holding and storage apparatus for tape cassettes adapted to be attached to a door of a glove compartment of an automobile in a location so that a plurality of tape cassettes can be stored within the glove compartment. The apparatus is a metal extrusion having a generally flat base integral with a plurality of spaced parallel ribs providing grooves for accommodating the enlarged sections of tape cassettes. Lips on the outer edges of the ribs engage the top edges of the enlarged sections of the tape cassettes to hold the cassettes in the grooves between adjacent ribs. The ribs have stops that locate and limit longitudinal movement of the tape cassettes in the grooves. A modified tape cassette storage apparatus has a generally upright base integral with a platform attached to downwardly curved legs. A plurality of oppositely directed ribs are integral with the base to provide grooves for accommodating the enlarged sections of the tape cassettes. Each of the ribs has lips on the outer edges thereof which cooperate with the top edges of the enlarged sections of the tape cassettes to hold the tape cassettes in the grooves. Stop projections on the ribs locate and limit longitudinal movement of the tape cassettes in the grooves. A second modification of the tape cassette storage apparatus has a circular base integral with outwardly directed circumferentially spaced ribs providing a plurality of grooves accommodating the enlarged sections of the tape cassettes. Each of the ribs has lips on the outer edges thereof that engage the top edges of the enlarged sections of the tape cassettes to hold the tape cassettes in the grooves.
