DESCRIPTION:

BRIEF SUMMARY
The invention relates to a storage cabinet intended to hold at least two cassette boxes side by side.
To arrange cassettes a solution presently known particularly from U.S. Pat. No. 3,763,994 consists in providing parallelipipedic cases enclosing a flap on which a cassette is held, the flap or cradle being able to swing outside the body of the case to permit the cassette to be taken off or put back. The cases usually incorporate removable securing means allowing them to be lined up in rows.
A disadvantage of this solution is that one is obliged to throw away the standard box which is sold by the shop with the cassette, the cassette being placed directly on the flap, which is a waste. Furthermore, if one wants to identify the cassette which has been installed, it is necessary to provide the special case with a label because it is not generally possible to use the combined label and index card which are usually placed inside the standard box in which a cassette is sold.
Obviously, one can be content with simply placing the standard boxes containing cassettes in a simple carrying case or valise which avoids throwing away the boxes and uses the label-inlay card, but this elementary solution plainly does not provide the advantages of the first mentioned solution, according to which the special cases with swing-out flaps are assembled in rows and which give direct access to the cassettes. When using a valise, one first of all has to open this, then extract a box and take the cassette out of it with both hands, which is far more complicated.
The aim of the present invention is to provide a solution giving most the advantages of the special cases but allowing nevertheless to keep the standard boxes, for example the cassette box according to German Pat. No. 1,300,864 to avoid the wastage of throwing it away and to simplify the label identification and allow the arranging of the cassettes in rows each in its original box.
According to the invention the cabinet for cassette boxes intended to receive at least two boxes side by side comprises a coffer (open case) which is open on at least one face to permit access to the boxes and it is characterized in that it incorporates on the side of the open access face at least one component which pivots around an axis, each of these components holding a box or as a variation a pair of boxes. Such a solution was in no way obvious in view of the known realisations.
The invention will be easier to understand by means of the description of several embodiments given by way of example and in referring to the drawing on which:
FIG. 1 represents a perspective view of a first embodiment of the cabinet, certain parts being disassembled,
