ABSTRACT:
A system for storing and dispensing a magnetic tape cartridges having a plurality of rows (10) of pivotal storage cells (14) within a frame (2) each cell has a cartridge-discharge end and a rear wall (22) at the opposite end. A support (12) is located beneath the cell and pivot means (16) are located intermediate the ends of the cell to permit the cell to pivot on the support means relative to the horizontal. Means are provided to limit the amount of pivotal movement of the cell relative to the horizontal. The center of gravity of the cell is located closer to the cartridge-discharge end than to the rear wall end. The cartridge-discharge end of the cell normally is inclined to pivot downwardly relative to the horizontal. Means (78) are provided to limit the amount of pivotal movement of the cartridge-discharge end of the cell at substantially a horizontal position. Means (15) are also provided to offer resistance to the downward pivotal movement of the rear wall end of the cell.
