Abstract: A ribbon cartridge for high speed printers having a main ribbon storage casing and a pair of arms which extend in generally the same direction from the casing. The ends of the arms form an exposed ribbon path to allow the printhead to strike the ribbon. A shield is provided in front of the ribbon to prevent the accordion folds of the paper from engaging and lifting the ribbon out of the path of the printhead.

Abstract: A storage rack for video tape cartridges permitting storage of a plurality of cartridges in a close linear array and arranged for ease of individual selection. The rack is preferably constructed of plastic having an open front and internal divider walls sectioning the rack into closely adjacent cartridge compartments. The base of the rack has a rear section maintaining the cartridge normally in a rearwardly tilted position and a front section sloped forwardly so as to allow selection by rotating the cartridge to permit the cartridge bottom to be guided by the front section and at the same time tilted forwardly at its top end thus extending out of the rack.
