Abstract
Abstract The storage boxes to be kept have a body including a rear wall, and a hinged cover pivoted to said body adjacent to said rear wall and comprising a holder adapted to hold a compact cassette in said hinged cover. The hinged cover is pivotally movable relative to said body between a closed portion, in which said hinged cover extends transversely to said rear wall and a compact cassette held by said holder is accommodated in said body, and an open position, in which said hinged cover extends generally parallel to said rear wall and a compact cassette held by said holder is disposed outside said body. The keeping means comprises at least two hinged leaves. Each of said leaves has at least one receptacle side, which faces another of said leaves, and is provided on said receptacle side with longitudinal and transverse walls, which define receptacles, each of which is adapted to receive the body of one of said boxes. Said transverse walls are provided with stops adapted to hold said bodies in said receptacles in a predetermined position in which said rear walls extend adjacent to and parallel to respective longitudinal walls and define clearance spaces therewith which are sufficiently large to enable a movement of each of said covers to said open position.
