ABSTRACT:
A container having a plurality of receiving compartments is provided. Each of the receiving compartments have a base plate, a spring-loaded lockable slider member for engaging a magnetic tape cassette, locking devices, each of which including two adjacent independently pivotable rocker arms, and a sliding element on the base plate. The respective rocker arm matching the orientation of the magnetic tape cassette is brought into engagement by the sliding element provided with wedge-like control members to lock the reel hubs. To be able to use the same containers also for magnetic tape cassettes with closed reel hubs that are used for open reel hubs, the slider member is provided with centering elements and the sliding element is displacable by the centering elements into a middle position when the slider member is moved outward. When the slider member is moved inward and the sliding element remains in the middle position, a projecting ridge on the sliding element moves into a free space formed between the rocker arms so that no rocker arm is set upright.
