Abstract
A record medium cartridge storing box for use in an automatic cartridge exchanging apparatus having a plurality of compartments arranged one on the other, each of which is formed by first and second side plates, rear plates and right and left supporting side flanges, and a plurality of hook spring units. Each of the hook springs units connected to the first side plate in respective compartments by a hinge portion. The hook springs units includes a forward arm, a first projection formed at a front end portion of the forward arm, a backward projection formed at a backward end portion of said second arm. When a 3480 tape cartridge has been fully inserted into a compartment, the first projection is engaged with a retaining step formed in a side wall of the cartridge and the second projection is urged against the side wall of the cartridge. When a DLT cartridge has been fully inserted into a compartment, the first projection is urged against a side wall of the cartridge and the second projection is engaged with a retaining step formed in the side wall of the cartridge. Since the first and second projections are formed to have a round outer configuration, the cartridge retained in the compartment can be easily removed therefrom.
