  • Patent number: 4219118
    Abstract: A protective case for magnetic tape or film cassettes comprising, on the one hand, a parallelepiped-shaped box dimensioned to hold at least two cassettes, the box having two main parallel faces joined by perpendicular faces and being open at least on one of its faces perpendicular to the main faces and, on the other hand, a carrier hinged to the box so that it can swing between a position where this carrier is engaged in the box and closes at least one of its open faces and a position where this carrier is opened out from the box. The carrier has at least one wall parallel to the main faces of the box, said wall having on each side at least one protrusion to fit into the hub of a cassette. The holding protrusions are preferably placed symmetrically apart on both sides of each wall of the carrier.
