ABSTRACT:
A container for a recording medium, such as a magnetic tape cassette, consists of a receptacle, which receives the recording medium in a partially pocket-like manner, and of a cover pivotably connected with it. The faces and side walls of the container are distributed between the receptacle and the cover in such a way that the receptacle constitutes a face of the container as well as at least a portion of the side walls adjoining this face, while the opposite face of the container is formed by the cover, so that a removal opening for the lateral insertion or lateral removal of the recording medium is formed. If the face formed by the cover directly adjoins a portion of the side wall of the container, also formed by the cover, a manipulation surface is created by means of which the container can be opened, similar to a pocket lighter, by a simple movement of the thumb, while the hand of the user firmly grips the receptacle. By means of this a simple, one-handed manipulation for removal is achieved, while the recording medium is prevented from falling out of the container in an uncontrolled manner.
