The tape cassettes that are rotated and opened and held on both the left and right sides of the holding body are detachably held on the holding body.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

Of the above-mentioned conventional tape cassette stands, Japanese Utility Model Sho 56
What is shown in the microfilm of No. 34851 is
You can easily increase or decrease the number of tape cassettes connected in the left and right and up and down directions, but it is necessary to put the tape cassette in and out diagonally with the support frame of the cassette case open.
It is difficult to attach and detach.

Therefore, the supporting frame is replaced with the cassette holder shown in the microfilm of Japanese Patent Application No. 50-176959, and the lower corners of the front ends of these holding frames are pivotally attached to the lower corners of the front end of the case body of the cassette tape. , The holder is fitted in the case body, and the holder is rotated about 90 ° forward,
It is conceivable that the tape cassette can be detached from the holder by moving the tape cassette in the left-right direction to facilitate the detaching operation of the cassette.

Since the tape cassettes are opened to a certain extent, the tape cassettes supported on the left and right sides of the cassette support plate provided at the center of the holder in the left-right direction are provided with these reel holes and the engagement protrusions projected on both side faces of the support plate. If the engagement is loose, the tape cassette, especially the tape cassette on the side not to be detached with respect to the support plate, comes off or shifts from the engagement protrusion, and when the holder is closed, the reel hole of the tape cassette is engaged with the engagement protrusion. There is a problem that the tape cassette collides with the case main body if it is necessary to reassemble the tape, and if this is not done.

Also, on the case body, left and right side plates of the cassette case,
Since the engaging convex portion and the engaging concave portion are formed on the front and rear portions of the upper end portion and the lower end portion and these are engaged with each other so as to be engageable and disengageable, the engaging length in the front-rear direction is short, and the cases are mutually interlocked. There is a risk of uncertain connection between the case and the left and right side plates, and in order to facilitate the opening and closing operation of the case holder, the case is made into a parallelogram shape and connected in a backward and upward multiple stages. ,left,
If the front end of the case is projected from the right side plate in a stepwise manner, the engagement length between the side plate and the case cannot be made sufficient,
There is a problem that the installation area of the case also becomes large.

This invention makes it easy to increase or decrease the number of conventional tape cassettes described above, and does not impair the advantage of being able to install a large number of tape cassettes in a small area. Moreover, the object is to provide a tape cassette stand that can be reliably performed.
