ABSTRACT:
A storage case for storing a tape cassette that includes a tape reel hub having a cylindrical wall defining a cylindrical recess in the hub with a bottom wall extending across the recess and having a plurality of drive holes formed therein. The case includes an enclosure for receiving and enclosing the tape cassette and a hub engaging member movably mounted in the case for reciprocal movement between retracted and extended positions with respect to one wall of the case. The hub engaging member is located to be received in the reel hub recess when the tape cassette is inserted in the case, and it includes at least one locking button for engaging one of the drive holes of the reel. The hub engaging member is biased towards its extended position to engage the locking button in one of the drive holes of the reel hub when there is alignment therebetween. And, the hub engaging member is held against rotation in the case so that when its locking button is engaged in the drive hole of the reel hub, the hub is locked against rotation.
