ABSTRACT:
A container for storing a magnetic tape cassette is formed by a one-piece housing, preferably molded of plastic resin and including a substantially rectangular bottom wall having side walls and a back wall directed upwardly along its opposite side and back margins to define a cavity which is open at the top for receiving a cassette and has an opening at the front of the housing through which access may be had to a cassette in the cavity for upwardly dislodging the cassette therefrom, and a top wall or lid hingedly connected, as by a thin cross-section of the plastic, to the top of the back wall for swinging between an upwardly directed opened position and a closed position in which the lid closes the cavity at the top thereof while a flange depending from the front end of the lid closes the opening at the front of the housing. The lid and bottom wall of the housing have mating projections which are frictionally engageable for holding the lid in its closed position and also for preventing rotation of the reels of a cassette stored in the container. Further, the opposite side walls are formed with a groove and rail, respectively, of mating dovetail cross-sections by which a plurality of containers can be secured to each other in side-by-side relation, and the rail preferably terminates short of the front and back ends of the respective side wall and has a medial recess extending along its length for facilitating its engagement in the groove of an adjacent identical container.
