Abstract
There is disclosed herein a holder for audio cassette recording tapes which is designed to provide convenient and compact storage for a plurality of cassette tapes and to also enable easy retrieval of same for the purpose of playing same. The cassette holder may be sized to accommodate any desired number of cassettes and includes a plurality of side by side channels into which the cassettes may be easily slid and thereafter supported. A latching member is associated with each of the channels and operates to lock the cassette within. In order to facilitate removal of a cassette from the holder each channel has associated therewith a spring loaded grasping member which upon release of the latching member moves the cassette partially outwardly of the holder whereby an individual may easily grasp and remove the cassette from the holder. In order to prevent inadvertent complete ejection of the cassette, the grasping member also includes arms frictionally engageable with the cassette.
