Abstract
A universal storage container for video cassettes is provided. The container includes substantially rectangular top and bottom walls which are hingedly connected to opposed edges of a rectangular rear wall. Front and opposed side walls extend from the top wall so as to define a substantially U-shaped enclosure. Rotation of the top wall about the rear wall and rotation of the rear wall about the bottom wall forms a hollow enclosure for the cassette. A pair of mounting posts are disposed on the bottom wall and are positioned such that they may be accepted into the central mounting holes of the Beta cassette when the reels of the Beta cassette are biased away from one another. Similarly, the mounting posts may be accepted into the central mounting holes of the VHS cassette when the reels of the VHS cassette are biased toward one another.
