ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a video cassette storage container capable of securely accomodating both VHS and Beta video cassettes. The container comprises an enclosure having top, bottom, and side wall panels. The bottom panel includes a pair of upstanding, Y-shape posts, each adapted to engage the internal spline teeth in the reel hubs of a video cassette. The Y-shape posts are positioned upon the bottom panel such that when a video cassette is inserted into the enclosure, the posts guide the cassette into position within the enclosure and create an interference fit with the internal spline teeth of the reel hubs. The posts fixedly secure the cassette within the enclosure and inhibit the inadvertent rotation of the reels. Preferably, in addition to the Y-shape posts, the enclosure includes means to securely lock the enclosure in the closed position.
