Abstract
The container for magnetic tape cassettes includes a housing (1) and a slider (2) for a magnetic tape cassette. The housing (1) has a spring-loaded mechanism for partially displacing the slider out of the housing (1) into a removal position and the slider can be locked in the housing in a storage position. The slider has a base plate (5) including a non-pivotable rear base plate (23) and a pivotable part (3) having a transverse pivot axis (4) arranged above and spaced from the base plate (5). The slider is provided with a gap (21) in the base plate (5) which is located between the pivotable part (3) and the non-pivotable rear base plate (23). The device for pivoting the pivotable part (3) downward about the transverse pivot axis (4) includes a peg (9,10) spaced from and below the pivot axis (4) on each side of the slider (2) and guide cams (11,12) on opposite sides of the housing which guide the motions of the pegs so that, when the slider is urged into the removal position, the pegs (9,10) engage on stops (13) of the guide cams (11,12) so that the pivotable part (3) of the slider (2) pivots downward. Because of the gap (21) in the base plate (5) more space is provided for removal of the magnetic tape cassette in the removal position.
