Abstract: A storage container for magnetic tape cassettes adapted to receive cassettes of different design, i.e. standard compact cassettes or digitally recorded cassettes. If a standard compact cassette is inserted tape reel locking members are activated but remain inactive upon insertion of a digitally recorded cassette.

Abstract: Cassettes containing recording media, for example audio tape cassettes, are stored on a transport slider which, upon command, may be ejected from a housing to permit removal and use of the cassette. The slider has projections which prevent unwanted rotation of the winding hubs of a stored cassette, the projections being serially arranged along a line parallel to the direction of travel of the slider, and has a long stroke so that both projections are positioned outside of the housing when the slider is in the ejected position.

Abstract: Device for storing flat recording media having a housing and a slider member that is guided in the housing along rails. The housing includes a wall component and a plate component that is inserted into the wall component, the plate component being provided with the slider member guide means and preferably being injection-moulded from a low-friction plastics.

Abstract: A container for a DAT (Digital Audio Tape) cassette includes a housing and a slider which transports a cassette from a storage position into a removal position. The slider carries a bracket provided with cams resiliently engaging a cassette recess so to secure the cassette on the slider even in the ejected position of the latter.

Abstract: A container for video magnetic-tape cassettes, compact phonographic disks or similar recording media, with a housing and a slide which is displaceable into an opening position by a prestressing spring after a lock has been released. The slide carries a front plate which closes the housing and which moves aside during opening, so that the cassette or the like can be grasped conveniently. A common housing preferably contains several slides. A blocking lock can be provided. Outwardly identical housings can contain slides adapted either to cassettes or to compact phonographic disks or to other recording media.

Abstract: A magnetic tape cassette box with an indicator device which shows whether or not the box contains a cassette. The indication is provided visibly and/or palpably in that region of the box which is always accessible for the insertion or removal of a cassette.

Abstract: A container for flat recording media with a housing and at least one slidably movable slider member, the front wall of which closes the opening in the housing. The front wall has a cut-out which makes it possible for a recording medium lying flat in the slider member to be grasped by its broad faces, the cut-out preferably being coverable by means of a separate component.

Abstract: A storage container intended particularly for compact discs storage in motor vehicles. For each disc there is provided a holder which may be pivoted out of the housing, the front wall of which holder in the pivoted-out position hinges down to such an extent that the disc can be gripped pincer-fashion and, unhampered by the front wall, can be pulled out or inserted. In the preferred embodiment, the holder is biased by a spring into its pivoted-out position and there is also preferably provided a front wall assembly that is biased by a spring into the hinged-down position.

Abstract: A container suitable for storing compact discs conveyed in motor vehicles comprises a housing from which the stored discs can be ejected by means of a single transporter associated with a plurality of discs. The transporter may be selectively coupled to only one disc holder. The transporter is preferably a slider member which is arranged to slide in the housing, can be locked in the housing against a spring bias and unlocked manually, and has a front wall to cover the open front of the housing when the slider member is inserted. The selector mechanism and the unlocking operation can be actuated from the outside of this front wall.

Abstract: The invention relates to a storage container for recording media with a housing, open at the front, that accommodates a plurality of holders for in each case at least one recording medium, wherein a front covering over the interior of the housing is provided and the holders are individually displaceable towards the front out of the housing into a position in which the recording medium disposed therein can easily be grasped, and with indicating means arranged in the region of the front and visible through indicator windows (104) in the front, which holders are occupied by recording media. In order to be able to see in the dark whether or not a holder is occupied, indicating means are provided which comprise light sources that are visible from the outside through the windows and which include associated switch-over means which are operable by the removal and insertion of a recording medium into a holder.

Abstract: A container for storing recording media, especially compact discs has a housing and at least one transport member for holding the recording media, the transport member being displaceable relative to the housing under the influence of a spring assembly from a storage position into an ejected position in which the recording medium is rendered accessible and being locked in the storage position by a manually releasable locking arrangement against the force of the spring assembly. The container also has covers associated with each transport member for closing the associated housing opening in the storage position of the transport members, the covers being individually moved out of registration with their transport members in response to ejection thereof whereby it is possible to remove and insert a recording media in a straight line.

Abstract: A magnetic tape cassette box with an indicator device which shows whether or not the box contains a cassette. The indication is provided visibly and/or palpably in that region of the box which is always accessible for the insertion or removal of a cassette.

Abstract: Easily operable apparatus for storing and retrieving recording media, magnetic tape cassettes and compact discs for example, is characterized by a housing and at least first recording media carrier slidably supported therein for movement between a stored position and a recording medium removal position under the influence of an ejection spring. The storage apparatus is provided with a locking mechanism, for retaining the carrier in the stored position, which will not be unintentionally released in response to rapid acceleration or deceleration when the storage apparatus is mounted within a motor vehicle.

Abstract: A storage container for recording media for installation in motor vehicles. A housing assembly has a plurality of holders for at least one recording medium, by which the recording media can be transported out of the housing assembly into a convenient position for removal. Each holder has a front wall for covering the storage chambers of the housing assembly. To be able to insert and remove the recording medium even in the dark without requiring prolonged attention, the housing assembly has an electrical connection to the motor vehicle's electrical system in order to supply a light source arrangement. When holders have been pushed home in the housing assembly, at least one partial area of the front wall thereof is able to be illuminated so as to be visible from the outside. Feed outlets for each holder are arranged in the housing assembly so that they are in light transmission contact with feed inlets of the holders when these have been pushed home in the housing assembly.

Abstract: A magnetic tape cassette box with an indicator device which shows whether or not the box contains a cassette. The indication is provided visibly and/or palpably in that region of the box which is always accessible for the insertion or removal of a cassette.

Abstract: A storage device for flat recording media, e.g. compact discs, is disclosed. The device comprises a housing and a slider member having a base portion and front wall that covers the open front face of the housing when the slider member is inserted. A lifting element, which is transported out of the housing by means of the slider member, is provided for supporting the recording media in a position for easy insertion and removal.
