Abstract

A deep storage cell for a data library that allows stacking of cartridges behind one another. Effective wall area is increased by stacking the cartridges two or three deep (or more) in a single storage slot. A spring provides force to expel the cartridges, and a toggle block with a catch lip holds the spring back when cartridges are inserted.
