Abstract
A device for storing magnetic tape cassettes has a housing, a slider movable into the housing to a storage position and provided with locking members engageable with tape reel hubs of a compact cassette stored in the device, and a spring wire acting on the pivotally mounted locking members and holding them below a supporting surface of the slider member when the latter is located outside of the housing, and when the slider member is moved into the housing a control edge of the housing presses the spring wire to transfer torque to the locking members so as to displace them away from the supporting surface and pivot them into the tape reel hubs of the compact cassette.
