Abstract: A container for magnetic tape cassettes comprises a plurality of receptacles for slidably receiving respective cassettes. Each of said receptacles comprises tracks provided at mutually opposite side walls or partitions. In order to provide a container which permits a convenient handling of the cassettes and from which the cassettes can easily be taken, each receptacle provides fulcrums about which the associated cassette can be tilted. Each track defines a throat, which has a width that is slightly in excess of the thickness of a cassette so that a cassette contained in each receptacle can be tilted about fulcrums formed by the tracks at the throats. The tracks of each receptacle comprise stops, which limit the extent of the tilting movement of the cassette. Each cassette is supported by laterally spaced apart supports provided adjacent to the bottom of the container.

Abstract: A case for holding floppy discs or other flat articles comprises a boxlike body and a cover, which is hinged to said body and can be turned up from the same. A compartment is defined by the inside surface of said cover and by a lid, which is hinged to the cover near its rear edge. To ensure that an opening movement of the cover will open also the lid, the latter is provided on its sides with cam follower pins, which engage respective cam tracks provided in the body. Each cam track comprises a portion which corresponds to an arc of a circle entered on the hinge axis on which the cover is hinged to the body. That cam track portion is succeeded in the direction of the opening movement of the cover by a cam track end portion, which deviates outwardly from said circle.
