ABSTRACT:
A variable position article holder according to the teachings of the present invention is shown in the preferred embodiment for holding boxes for recording tapes such as cassette, 8-track, or video tape. The tape holder includes first and second L-shaped members. The second L-shaped member can be interfitted within an L-shaped aperture formed in the first L-shaped member. The second L-shaped member is slidably and pivotably mounted to the first L-shaped member within the aperture by detents which extend from the second L-shaped member into slots formed in the leg portions of the first L-shaped member adjacent the aperture. A washboard series of angular peaks are formed on the top surface of the second leg of the second L-shaped member. The first L-shaped member further includes ratchet levers which extend into the aperture and engage with the angular peaks of the second L-shaped member. Thus, the first L-shaped member can be held in any desired angular position with respect to the second L-shaped member by the ratchet levers which engage one of the angularpeaks and by the detents which are slidably and pivotally captured in the slots. Further, in one of the angular positions, the second L-shaped member is located within the L-shaped aperture of the first L-shaped member such that the tape holder has a single overall outline.
