ABSTRACT:
An audio cassette storage container formed as a one-piece member of polypropylene where the container includes two or more cavities for receiving audio cassettes and has a smooth outer contour and configured sidewalls and hinge area to provide an extremely aesthetically pleasing and efficient storage container. The container further has square feet on one end thereof for endwise standing of the audio storage container. The container also has a recessed front for easy opening where the recessed front is also arcuate or scalloped so as to extend inward into the container to assist in holding and centering audio cassette tapes. The container also has ribs on the inner surface thereof which automatically centers the audio cassette and its associated literature into the storage container during manual insertion of a cassette therein. The interior of the container may be configured to include either two or four cavities within the base and/or lid for audio cassette receipt, as well as an additional hingedly mounted center tray for supplementally receiving at least two more audio cassettes. Each cavity includes a pair of stems for aligning the audio cassette therein, while only one of the stems is used for securing. The pair of stems further provides slack such that the audio cassette is movable about the planar stem during bending, flexing and twisting of the container such as during opening thereby preventing "popping" out.
