ABSTRACT:
A storage rack for magnetic tape cartridges includes a plurality of shelves for supporting a plurality of cartridges in an upstanding side-by-side relationship and side supports for supporting the shelves in a spaced superposed relationship. Each shelf includes a planar platform for cartridges operatively positioned thereon and a planar back for the shelf. The planar platform defines a substantially linear forward edges opposite the back of the shelf which underlies a tape cartridge operatively positioned upon the shelf and supports the tape cartridge so that the overlying cartridge edge defines an angle within the range of about ten to twenty degrees with the horizontal. The platform of one shelf is spaced above the platform of the underlying shelf a distance which is substantially no greater than the vertical height of a cartridge when positioned upon the underlying shelf plus an amount providing finger clearance between the underside of the platform of the one shelf and the upper edge of a cartridge when positioned upon the underlying shelf so that an index finger of one hand can be positioned atop a cartridge stored upon the underlying shelf at a location on the cartridge adjacent the upper forward corner of the cartridge and the cartridge pivoted forwardly with the index finger relative to the underlying shelf about the corresponding forward edge from a stored condition to a forwardly-tilted condition in relationship to adjacent cartridges so that the opposite sides of the cartridge can be grasped between the thumb and remaining fingers of the one hand for purposes of withdrawing the cartridge from the underlying shelf.
