ABSTRACT:
A tri-cassette carrier includes a first panel, two protrusions projecting from the first panel and each including a head formed at a free end portion, two hooks projecting from a free edge of the first panel and each including a barb formed on a free end potion, a second panel hinged to the first panel, two clips formed on the second panel, a third panel hinged to the second panel, two protrusions projecting from the third panel and each including a head formed at a free end portion, a strip projecting from a free edge of the third panel, and two barbs formed on the strip. The barbs formed on the hooks are engageable with the barbs formed on the strip for retaining the carrier in a closed position. The strip defines two recesses each forming a thin portion on which a corresponding one of the barbs is formed. Thickness of each of the thin portions of the strip plus the thickness of each of the hooks is equal to thickness of the strip so that the hooks lie flush with the strip when the barbs formed on the hooks are engaged with the barbs formed on the strip, resulting in a minimum profile of the carrier when the carrier is closed.
