Abstract
A transparent tape cassette storage container having a cover and a base and using a latching mechanism employing a projection on the cover and an interference recess in the base for receiving the projection. The interference in the latch is just enough so that it holds the base and cover securely, but also unsnaps easily when the user wishes to open the container. There is also used a pivoting mechanism to hinge the cover relative to the base. Finally, the front of the cover includes indentations and the base includes serated projections for aiding handling of the cassette storage container during opening and closing.
