Abstract
A protective container for tape cassettes (K) consists of a bottom part (I) and lid part (II), which are pivotable relative to one another, so as to effect closing and opening of the container. Means (3, 17) restrict the opening of the parts to an angle of less than 180.degree., in particular to angles of 90.degree.-140.degree. or 120.degree.-130.degree.. A specific force is required to open the container, thereby additionally ensuring that the container is not opened unintentionally and the tape cassette does not drop out. The container is useful for storing tape cassettes, film cassettes, magnetic tape cassettes, etc.
