A container for magnetic tape cassettes comprises a plurality of receptacles for slidably receiving respective cassettes. Each of said receptacles comprises tracks provided at mutually opposite side walls or partitions. In order to provide a container which permits a convenient handling of the cassettes and from which the cassettes can easily be taken, each receptacle provides fulcrums about which the associated cassette can be tilted. Each track defines a throat, which has a width that is slightly in excess of the thickness of a cassette so that a cassette contained in each receptacle can be tilted about fulcrums formed by the tracks at the throats. The tracks of each receptacle comprise stops, which limit the extent of the tilting movement of the cassette. Each cassette is supported by laterally spaced apart supports provided adjacent to the bottom of the container.

In a container for holding parallelepipedic articles comprising: a bottom and side walls defining an upwardly open space, said space being delimited at least in part by two horizontally spaced apart vertical walls rising from said bottom, and a plurality of receptacles provided between said two vertical walls and adapted to slidably receive respective ones of said articles, each of said receptacles comprising two upwardly open horizontally spaced apart tracks extending adjacent to confronting side faces of respective ones of said vertical walls for receiving opposite edges of respective articles, the improvement residing in that each of said receptacles comprises laterally spaced apart supports disposed near said bottom and adapted to slidably support one of said articles received in the respective receptacle, each of said tracks of each of said receptacles has above the respective supports a pair of formations projecting toward one another and defining a respective throat engageable with a respective one of said articles in said receptacle on each side of said article, said throat of each of said receptacles are horizontally aligned so that one of said articles which is contained in one of said receptacles and has a thickness that is slightly smaller than the width of each of said throats is tiltable in said receptacle about fulcrums formed by said tracks at said throats, and said tracks of each of said receptacles are provided with stops for limiting the tilting movement of such article in said receptacle, each of said tracks having horizontally spaced apart guiding surfaces, which diverge symmetrically from said throat in upward and downward directions.
