ABSTRACT:
A container for generally flat articles, such as magnetic tape cassettes, comprises a plurality of receptacles, which are arranged one behind the other and into which respective flat articles can slidably be inserted along pairs of tracks, which are provided on the inside surfaces of mutually opposite side walls. A support for a flat article is provided at the bottom of each receptacle. The tracks of each pair define a throat which defines an axis and comprises stops so that each flat article can be supported on one of said supports so as to be tiltable about said axis through an angle which is defined by said stops. In order to permit a proper accommodation of unpackaged and packaged flat articles, such as magnetic tape cassettes, the width of each throat is adapted to the thickness of one of said unit packages and the tracks are provided in their rear walls on a level between the supports and the throats with upwardly facing, re-entrant steps, which are adapted to support said packages at adjacent corners.
