ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to equipment for hanging reels of magnetic computer tape and the like. The computer tape is usually enclosed in a canister having a peripheral hook. A rack is provided having a plurality of tapes. Each hanger has a suspension rod for receiving the hook of the canister. The hanger also includes a cantilevered spring member which acts to limit swinging of the tape canister and which aids in extracting a tape from the rack. To extract a tape the canister is pressed back to deflect the spring member and then released. The reaction of the spring member will cause the tape to swing forward to a position such that it can be readily grasped by hand.
