Abstract
Abstract 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 conven-iently. 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.
