A security container for storing various articles such as recorded media, includes a parallelipipedic frame with an internal storage chamber and an access opening communicating therewith. A slide plate is slidably mounted on one end of the frame and is movable linearly toward and away from the access opening. A separate tab is slidably mounted on the frame adjacent the access opening and is automatically moved linearly in a direction perpendicularly to the linear movement of the slide plate between a blocking position across the access opening and an unblocking position by a camming engagement with the slide plate. A lock mechanism releasably locks the slide plate in a fixed position to retain the tab in the blocking position until released by a key device.

[ We claim:] [1.] A security container for holding an object including:a generally parallelipipedic frame forming a storage chamber and having an access opening at one end for inserting and removing the object into and from said storage chamber;locking means mounted on the frame for selectively blocking and unblocking the access opening, said locking means including a slide plate linearly slidably mounted on said frame and movable toward and away from the access opening and a lock tab movably mounted on the frame adjacent the access opening and movable linearly between a locked position where it blocks the access opening preventing removal of the object and a retracted unlocked position, said linear movement of the tab being substantially perpendicular to the linear movement of the slide plate; andactuation means operatively engageable between the slide plate and lock tab for automatically moving the lock tab between the locked and unlocked positions as the slide plate moves along the frame.
