SQUARE-SHAPED BOX FOR STORAGE OF MAGNETIC TAPES

10

The invention relates to a cuboid box for storing magnetic tapes, in particular data storage tapes.

The object on which the present invention is based is to propose a box of the type mentioned, which ensures safe storage of magnetic tapes, especially data storage tapes.

According to the invention, this object is achieved by that the top of the box has an insertion opening and the front of the box has a discharge opening having.

A magnetic tape to be stored in the box can be inserted through the insertion opening on the Get the top of the box into the inside of the box. If you let go of the magnetic tape, it falls

on the bodon of the box and can through the removal opening from the front of the box.

Preferably, the width of the insertion opening and the removal opening corresponds to the width of the box,

According to a particularly preferred embodiment the side of the box adjoining the removal opening on the right or left has undercuts on. These undercuts ensure that the tape located in the box can be opened with your hands can be easily removed.

Preferably the width of the box is 164 cm, the height 115 cm and the depth 113 cm, 40 cm for the insertion opening at the top, for the Removal opening cut out 24 cm on the front is. These dimensions of the box according to the invention are particularly suitable for holding data storage cartridges suitable.

Each side undercut of the box is preferably 20 cm deep. The box is preferably made made of aluminium.

The cuboid box according to the invention is a Organization box for storing, in particular, data storage tapes. This box will be accordingly the dimensions of the respective cassette (e.g. data tape cassette) to be stored therein.

The May3e in the most preferred embodiment correspond to the box for 1/4 "tape cartridges. The box consists of Aluminum sheets or die-cast aluminum or any other suitable material or is produced by another suitable process. The organization box is used for safe storage from and the 'reliably organized data backup with data storage cartridges.

The dimensionally stable housing of the organization box makes the data tapes effective against damage protected by external force. In addition, the use of aluminum in the Manufacture of the housing extensive protection from magnetic effects on those stored in the box Data tapes. The organization box ensures that the data backup organization runs securely if there are three to a maximum of three per data unit Four data cartridges can be used to back up data: After backing up the data content on the fuse cassette is used for storage through the opening on the top of the organization box inserted into this. This means that the oldest data backup is automatically put down in the box to lie on, the newer stacks above and on top of the youngest fuse. For further Data backups are now always the oldest backup through the slot at the bottom on the side of the Organization box removed and after copying

of the latest data on the stack as described above deposited again at the top.

The removal of cassettes through the upper opening is more difficult and therefore only possible at random, see above that prevents involuntary removal and the unintentional deletion of the last data backup at routine backing up is impossible.

Stickers on the organization box explain the safety process and are also used for labeling the respective content.

The invention is explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

closing sides 6 and 7 of the box have the undercuts 8 and 9, respectively.

The inner width B of the box is I64 cm, the Height H 115 cm and the depth D 113 cm. For the insertion opening 2 are on the top 5 4-0 cm and for the removal opening 3 on the front 4. 2Λ cm cut out. Any side undercut 8 or 9 of the box Ί is 20 cm deep.

The through the insertion opening 2 into the interior of the box 1 introduced cassette reaches the bottom of the box or on top of the already cassettes located in the box. The cassette below can be easily inserted through the Removal opening 3 are pulled out to the front, the fingers of the operator through the Undercuts 8 or 9 engages through this to be removed cassette.
