The end panel includes a bottom section having one of its ends at the entrance and its other end integrally formed with an upper section having one end terminating at the entrance, mounted between the side panels, a pair of pivots are disposed for movably supporting a pair of cooperating levers. A selected pivotal lever is adapted to be manually depressed for operating a second pivotal lever. The second lever includes a cartridge engaging end for forcibly urging the tape cartridge out of the cavity via the entrance.

Abstract: A cartridge dispenser is disclosed herein for storing a pre-recorded program tape cartridge which includes a box-like construction having a side opening defining an entrance into an internal storage compartment for slidably receiving the cartridge. A yieldable, spring-loaded lock mechanism is in the compartment and bears against the back side of the cartridge. A pivotal latch mechanism cooperates with the lock mechanism to selectively release the lock mechanism for forcibly urging the cartridge through the entrance externally of the box-like construction.
