Estimating the term…
The invention relates to a cassette (3) for the trouble-free storage of an information carrier and for conveniently inserting this information carrier into a scanning device. The cassette comprises a sleeve-shaped housing (301) and a box-shaped holder (303) which can be slid into the housing. The housing has an open first side (309) and, opposite thereto, an at least partly open second side (311). The holder, which extends permanently into the housing through the first side, is movable between a slid-out position, in which the holder together with the housing forms a storage space for the information carrier, and a slid-in position for moving the information carrier out of the cassette via said second side. Latching means (327, 327B) have been provided for latching the information carrier in the slid-out position of the holder.
