Abstract

A storage rack for video tape cartridges permitting storage of a plurality of cartridges in a close linear array and arranged for ease of individual selection. The rack is preferably constructed of plastic having an open front and internal divider walls sectioning the rack into closely adjacent cartridge compartments. The base of the rack has a rear section maintaining the cartridge normally in a rearwardly tilted position and a front section sloped forwardly so as to allow selection by rotating the cartridge to permit the cartridge bottom to be guided by the front section and at the same time tilted forwardly at its top end thus extending out of the rack.
