S01166 STORAGE CASE ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A storage case, adapted to store a cassette of the type having at least one reel, is formed of walls which are closable to form the storage case. At least one hub engaging member is mounted on a wall for engaging the hub of the reel when the cassette is placed into the storage case. The hub engaging member includes a post extending from the wall and having a longitudinal slit therein parallel to the longitudinal axis of the post so as to form two compressible post portions, each portion having a finger projecting outward therefrom. A coil spring is positioned over and guided by the post, and a cap having a cylindrical wall, a top wall and an annular shoulder is positioned over the post. When assembling the cap 'o the post, the annular shoulder of the cap compresses the post portions to permit the fingers to pass through the annular shoulder and then to expand and lockingly engage the shoulder. The spring exerts an upward bias force on the cap. At least one projection is provided on the top wall of the cap to engage the hub. Locking means prevents the cap from rotating. The storage case also includes a novel releasable locking assembly, an improved hinge to facilitate the opening and closing of the case and a reinforc- ing member so as to prevent unwanted deflections of the side, or peripheral walls, of the case. -i-
