ABSTRACT:
A storage container for securely holding and containing two different sizes of video cassettes therein by a pair of projections molded integrally with either the top or bottom wall of the container. One of the projections is a usual pair of annular concentric members which extends into one of the reel hub openings formed in the cassette. In accordance with the invention, the other projection preferably is an oval-shaped member formed by two semicircular arcuate sections which terminate in end posts. One of the arcuate sections extends into a second reel hub opening in the cassette and coincides with an outer arcuate curved section of the opening when storing a small size cassette, with the other arcuate section coinciding with an inner arcuate curved section of a reel hub opening when storing a larger size cassette. Alternately, the improved projection can be a pair of transversely spaced projection members formed on the container wall at a location determined by the imaginary overlapping of the cassette hub openings to be engaged by the improved projection. The top wall is movably connected to the bottom wall by a double hinged panel assembly. Flanges are formed on the hinged panel and top wall and have angled edges which abuttingly engage each other upon moving the top wall toward closed position to limit movement of the top wall toward closed position to properly align the container latching members when the top wall is in a fully closed position.
