Abstract
A magazine for recording tape cassettes for use in vehicles has a plurality of chambers, each for the reception of a cassette and each having an opening corresponding to the cassette's smallest cross-section. The chambers have cantilevered spring leaves arranged at their top walls which leaves carry locking members including plates with cam-like edges projecting downwardly so as to engage the hub openings of the cassette reels to lock the reels and retain the cassettes in the chambers and to force them against their bottom support. The chambers further have resilient guide straps disposed at one of their sides so as to project into the chambers and engage and force the cassettes therein into firm engagement with the opposite chamber side walls, all chambers being formed by drawer-like building elements stacked on top of one another and compressed within the magazine housing.
