Abstract
A storage container for audio cassette tape boxes and digital audio compact disc boxes. The storage container is an integral one-piece member formed by spaced, parallel top and bottom walls, a pair of spaced, parallel sidewalls, a partial rear wall, and an open front which provides access into the container. A pair of spaced, parallel partition walls equally divide the container into a pair of outer compartments and a center compartment. A plurality of spaced, parallel elongated first ribs extend inwardly of the top and bottom walls into the compartments for receiving a plurality of the compact disc boxes in each of the compartments. A plurality of spaced, parallel elongated second and third ribs extend inwardly of each of the pair of sidewalls into the outer compartments, and inwardly of each of the partition walls into the center compartment and a respective one of the outer compartments, for receiving a plurality of cassette tape boxes in each of the compartments. Each of the third ribs has a step formed thereon for predetermining the distance of insertion of a cassette tape box into the container, and the partial rear wall predetermines the distance of insertion of a compact disc box into the container. Various tongue and groove members formed on the outer surfaces of the container provide for slidably interconnnecting similar storage containers into a larger storage unit.
