Abstract From the Canadian patent

Apparatus for storing recording media particularly, for installation in motor vehicles The invention relates to an apparatus for storing magnetic tape cassettes, records and the like particularly for use in motor vehicles. It comprises a housing with at least one transport slider which is locked in the housing against a spring bias. In order to prevent accidental opening during sharp acceleration the locking system comprises a catch element supported in the direction of acceleration and a spring-biased release element for the catch element, the release element and its bias spring being so arranged that automatic unlocking as a result of inertia forces acting on the apparatus is excluded.
