A storage holder for tape cassettes is provided for carrying of a plurality of such tapes on an automotive vehicle\s sunvisor. The storage holder includes a plurality of compartments for receiving respective ones of the cassettes and each compartment is provided with sets of opposed cassette supporting ribs that are formed and positioned to engage opposite sides of a cassette and provide the sole support therefor. Each compartment is dimensioned to permit end-wise insertion of a cassette with the cassette\s tape transport head disposed at either side of the compartment. A cassette clamping plate is provided to mechanically engage the cassette and to hold it against a pair of the supporting ribs. The clamping plate is resiliently biased to provide a clamping force and is provided with a retaining lug for interfitting engagement with a cassette at a reel drive aperture. Spring clips are provided to removably mount the storage holder on a sunvisor.

A storage holder for tape cassettes comprising a structural body including a pair of sidewalls supported in relatively spaced relationship and defining a plurality of tape-cassette-receiving compartments disposed in side-by-side relationship and an opening for each compartment formed along a longitudinal side of the structural body for passage of tape cassettes into and out of each respective compartment, said side walls provided with a plurality of elongated cassette support ribs extending longitudinally through each of said compartments in substantially perpendicular relationship to the opening thereto with the ribs on opposed walls of each compartment cooperatively defining a space therebetween substantially equal to the thickness of a tape cassette and between which a tape cassette can be slideably displaced during insertion ans withdrawal from a compartment, said ribs projecting a distance from respective ones of said walls to prevent a cassette tape transport head from engaging either of said walls, and a retaining element for each respective compartment carried by said structural body including a clamping plate resiliently biased from one wall toward the other and disposed to engage with a tape cassette interposed between said ribs and operable to retain a cassette in the respective compartment.
