A storage container for holding a tape cassette which container is adapted for molding in a unitary structure of a thermoplastic material. The container includes an improved single latching arrangement incorporating integrally molded leaf springs. Also locking tabs are molded with the top or bottom wall which are adapted to engage corresponding apertures provided at each end of the spine of the container such that when opened the container does not open to a completely flat configuration.

An improved tape cassette storage container adapted for molding in a unitary structure, said container comprising a first substantially flat rectangular surface; opposed end walls and a side wall disposed proximate the outer edge of said first surface; a spine member hingedly molded to the edge of said first surface opposite said side wall, having upstanding tabs disposed proximate each end thereof, each said tab being disposed inwardly of the end walls on said first surface and having an aperture disposed therethrough; a second substantially flat rectangular surface hingedly molded to the edge of said spine member opposite said first surface; a lip member disposed proximate the edges of said second surface other than the edge adjacent said spine member, said lip member being in substantial linear alignment with said tabs on the ends of said spine member; an upwardly extending member disposed at each end of said lip member adjacent said spine member, each said member having an outwardly extending tab disposed thereon such that rotation of said spine member and said second surface toward one another causes said outwardly extending tabs on said upwardly extending members to engage said apertures disposed in said upstanding tabs disposed at the ends of said spine member, whereby said spine member is retained at substantially a right angle with respect to said second surface; and whereby rotation of said first surface toward said spine member causes said end and side walls on said first surface to engage the outer surface of said lip member on said second surface to thereby provide a closed container.
