Abstract
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.
