Abstract
A display case for jacketed cassettes includes a casing that defines an internal cavity and a protrusion that projects into the cavity. The casing provides an opening that permits the slidable withdrawal of a cassette from the display case in a well-defined, unique and predetermined direction. The protrusion is attached to the lid of the casing that is movable between open and closed positions and is engaged with the jacket on closing the lid to prevent the movement of the jacket in the direction of withdrawal of the cassette. Locking means keep the lid in closed position once engagement with the jacket has been achieved. The display case of the invention permits the cassette and the entire, unaltered advertising wrap or jacket to be conveniently displayed by the retailer and ultimately transported by the renter or user who chooses the video tape for viewing.
