ABSTRACT:
A theft resistant cassette tape holder is provided which retains a conventional cassette tape assembly such that it is not easily shoplifted since it becomes too large to be easily secured on the person of a would-be thief. The cassette holder includes a body having a handle portion and a cassette tape engaging portion. A cassette is slid into position within the cassette engaging portion whereupon an endpiece is snapped into position at the open end. This endpiece cannot be easily disassembled and the unit must be cut by scissors or another sharp instrument permitting the cassette to be removed upon sale. Engagement between the endpiece and body portion occurs by the interaction between a plurality of hooks engaging a plurality of slots formed between two plate surfaces. The holder is formed such that the end piece can be formed within an aperture of the carrying handle portion, thereby permitting the entire holder to be constructed in an injection molding die of minimal size.
