A magazine for recording tape cassettes for use in vehicles has a plurality of chambers, each for the reception of a cassette and each having an opening corresponding to the cassette\s smallest cross-section. The chambers have cantilevered spring leaves arranged at their top walls which leaves carry locking members including plates with cam-like edges projecting downwardly so as to engage the hub openings of the cassette reels to lock the reels and retain the cassettes in the chambers and to force them against their bottom support. The chambers further have resilient guide straps disposed at one of their sides so as to project into the chambers and engage and force the cassettes therein into firm engagement with the opposite chamber side walls, all chambers being formed by drawer-like building elements stacked on top of one another and compressed within the magazine housing.

A magazine for recording tape cassettes especially for use in vehicles, comprising a housing having a number of chambers, each for the reception of one cassette, each said chamber having an opening of a cross-section corresponding to the smaller cross-section of a tape cassette and adapted to receive such cassette lengthwise; said chambers being arranged horizontally and formed by drawer-like building elements stacked on top of one another and compressed within said cassette housing, one being disposed on top of each chamber, each of said building elements having at least one spring leaf cantilevered from each building element so as to extend essentially in the direction of movement of a cassette into, and out of, said chamber, said spring leaf having a free end movable relative to said chamber; a locking member supported at the free end of each spring leaf so as to project downwardly into said chamber for engagement with the hub opening of at least one of a tape cassette\s reel hub openings, said locking member including a cam-like rib projection oriented also in the direction of movement of a cassette into, and out of, said chamber, said cam-like rib having cam-like edges adapted to cause the locking member to resiliently back up when a cassette portion is moved past them, each of said building elements having downwardly projecting side walls at opposite sides of said chambers with resilient guide straps disposed at one side thereof and projecting into said chamber and engaging herein any cassette inserted into said chamber so as to force said cassette into engagement also with the opposite wall of said chamber.
