Abstract: A container for installing in a vehicle has a housing having an open front side, a cover pivotally mounted on the housing at the open front side, a storage receptacle formed as a storage tray and connected to the cover so that when the cover is opened the storage tray is displaced out of the housing into a removal position, a slide guidable and lockable in the housing, the storage tray being hingedly mounted on the slide, a drive member moving the slide toward the open front side of the housing, and a coupling link which connects the storage tray to the cover and having a control pin connected to the storage tray and displacing the storage tray outside the housing into the removal position in which the storage tray is partially uprightly oriented.

Abstract: A device for storing magnetic tape cassettes has a housing, a slider movable into the housing to a storage position and provided with locking members engageable with tape reel hubs of a compact cassette stored in the device, and a spring wire acting on the pivotally mounted locking members and holding them below a supporting surface of the slider member when the latter is located outside of the housing, and when the slider member is moved into the housing a control edge of the housing presses the spring wire to transfer torque to the locking members so as to displace them away from the supporting surface and pivot them into the tape reel hubs of the compact cassette.

Abstract: A device for storing magnetic tape cassettes has a housing with a slider member insertable against a spring force and adapted to support a compact cassette. A locking member can be introduced into the reel hub of the compact cassette only when it is inserted. It is actuated by a shaft and an actuating element formed as a one-piece part. When a digital cassette is inserted, the locking member remains below the supporting surface of the slider member.
