ABSTRACT:
The disclosure relates to a storage cell assembly for magnetic tape cartridges. Modular storage cells are joined into a storage cell assembly that can accommodate a plurality of cartridges in either a linear or circular array. The storage cell assembly provides rapid retrieval of audio signals, such as recorded music, computer data and announcements. Each storage cell case is three-sided, having a panel and integral opposed sidewalls. A flexible release finger extends downwardly from one sidewall to the level of the other sidewall. An end cover panel is positioned adjacent the last one of the individual storage cells and aligned retaining flanges on the sidewalls and the edges of the end cover panel define guide recesses. Retainer members are positioned in the guide recesses to hold the components in an assembled relationship. In one embodiment, a locking member is positioned adjacent the retainer member and cemented therewith to provide a unitary storage cell assembly.
