ABSTRACT:
High density, rapid access storage of cassette modules is provided by way of a storage unit in which the modules are supported in side by side edge-on orientation, being supported at the diagonally opposed front top and rear lower corners, and having freedom for lateral sliding movement while thus secured within the storage unit to afford finder access to a selected cassette, and to permit insertion and removal by handfulls. Release of a selected cassette is readily effected by upward raising of the cassette within a top clearance space provided thereover, thus freeing the rear lower corner from the storage unit, for frontal withdrawal of the cassette module from the storage unit. The storage unit comprises a pair of end support means in mutually spaced apart, facing relation for supporting the unit in substantially vertical orientation, having one or more module support sections extending laterally in secured relation between the end support means, the support section having substantially continuous laterally planar upper and lower support surfaces to engage diagonally opposed corners of the modules in stable supporting relation therewith, in use to permit unrestricted lateral displacement of modules in sliding relation therealong, and providing a clearance space above, for upward displacement of the modules therein, to release contact with the lower support surface and thus permit insertion and withdrawal of the module from the storage unit. The storage units are each specificly sized to one size of module, and can cover the full spectrum of cassette or other module sizes, the units also being stackable to form a library.
