Abstract

A container for tape cassettes is provided with one or more locking elements which comprise one or more ring segments which are roughly adapted to the drive orifice of the cassette. An advantageous embodiment is formed integrally with a web and, preferably, an ejector peg. Overlaps in the edge contour part of a joint and the height of the peg adapted to the internal dimension of the container provide greater stability to lateral compressive forces and forces acting during fall.
