Abstract
A tape cassette storage box comprises a storage box body having a hollow for holding a micro cassette, a cover having a kangaroo pocket for receiving the micro cassette and coupled with the storage box body so as to be able to rotate between a first position in which the cover houses, in cooperation with the storage box body, the micro cassette held in the storage box body, and a second position in which the cover allows the micro cassette as held in the kangaroo pocket to be removed from the storage box body, and a pair of reel hub stopper members formed on the storage box body and arranged along a direction to cross the axis of rotation of the cover so as to be able to engage a pair of reel hubs of the micro cassette held in the storage box body, whereby the pair of reel hubs are prevented from rotating. The height of one of the pair of reel hub stopper members nearer to the axis of rotation than the other is lower than that of the other.
