Abstract
A reuseable one-piece molded plastic package for securely holding and displaying cassettes. A housing forms a storage compartment having an access opening for receiving a cassette. A slide plate is hingedly mounted on the housing and is slideably moved toward the storage compartment to secure a cassette therein. A plurality of slide projections and locking projections are formed on the slide plate and engage slide channels and locking tabs, respectively, formed on the housing to secure the slide plate in locked position. A manually operated key releases the locking tabs from engagement with the locking projections enabling the slide plate to be moved to the unlocked position. In one embodiment the slide plate moves into the access opening to prevent removal of a cassette therefrom, wherein a second embodiment the slide plate engages a hinged cover which forms part of the storage compartment to secure the cover in the closed position.
