ABSTRACT:
A storage display tray for selectively retaining either or both a relatively small or relatively large rectangular in cross-section object. The tray is particularly suited for use in connection with tape cassettes having pinch roller openings along a longitudinal edge thereof and the relatively larger containers, such as boxes, for the cassettes so that either a cassette alone, or a boxed cassette may be selectively retained. The tray is formed of a plurality of elongate compartments defined by a longitudinally extending partition flange between each adjacent compartment. A laterally extending wall is provided spaced apart more than the length of a relatively larger object such as a boxed cassette. A bottom wall extends between the longitudinally and laterally extending walls and an engaging element is formed on the bottom wall to frictionally engage in the cassette pinch roller openings to grip the unboxed cassette. A rib on the laterally extending walls in each compartment is positioned to frictionally engage the ends of the relatively larger boxed cassette. Thus unboxed cassettes or boxed cassettes may be selectively held with little or no tray deformation. Each tray compartment is provided with either or both color and/or color tone coded and alpha numeric indicia, and correspondingly marked labels also color coded and/or color tone coded are provided for securement to the unboxed cassettes or boxed cassettes to be retained in the tray compartments.
