ABSTRACT:
A container (11) for storage of a tape cassette (19) uses a mechanism (17) which automatically lifts or extends the cassette at least partially from the container when opened, thereby providing easier access to the cassette. The pushing mechanism uses a driver bar (17) mounted on driver pins (33) and positioned near the back (45) of the cassette when the container is closed. As the cover (13) is opened, the driver pins (33) sweep an arc about a hinge (23) connecting the cover with a base (15), and the driver bar (17) mounted on the pins will push the cassette from its stored position to an extended position to provide enhanced access for the user. In other embodiments, the pushing mechanism can include an elongated driver pin (33a) without the driver bar (17); the pin sweeps out an arc and pushes the cassette to the extended position.
