ABSTRACT:
A storage and dispensing cabinet in which films, tape cassettes or similar articles are stored in parallel open-ended slots. The cassettes are held in the slots and selectively ejected by an ejector mechanism formed by resilient retention members at the front ends of the slots and resilient drive members at the back ends of the slots, the retention and drive members being secured to a base that provides a raised platform on which the cassettes are supported. The retention members for the various slots are integrally formed as a single piece, the drive members being integrally formed in a similar manner, but separately from the retention members. When a cassette is to be ejected, the appropriate retention member is depressed, causing an abutment that normally engages the leading edge of the cassette to be withdrawn. The drive member then springs forward to its relaxed position, partially ejecting the cassette so that it can be withdrawn.
In another form of the invention, the slots extend horizontally and each retention member includes a lip along the bottom of an opening at the front of the slot. The retention member can be flexed downwardly to allow the stored article to pass over the lip as it is forced outwardly by a drive member. Alternatively, the article can be lifted above the lip, allowing the drive member to push it partially out of the slot.
