Abstract

A mounting receptacle for records and cassettes has at least two elements which are arranged near one another and provided with receiving devices for records and cassettes to be inserted, a first wall and a second wall provided in each of the elements and parts for connecting the elements securely and detachably in the region of the first wall and the second wall. The connecting parts include at least one bayonet screw having a screw neck with one end provided with a head and another end provided with a cam-like bayonet shoulder, and overlapping bore holes provided in the second wall and the first wall of the elements so that the bayonet screw can be inserted in the overlapping bore holes of the second wall and the first wall of the elements and being flush with surfaces of the second wall and the first wall on insides of the elements without projecting out. The bore hole in the second wall on the inside of the elements reaches a thickness of the screw head and has a diameter corresponding to a diameter of the screw head and also tapers in a portion of the second wall to a maximum diameter of the screw neck including the bayonet shoulder. The bore hole in the first wall on the inside of the elements has a diameter of the screw neck of the bayonet screw including the bayonet shoulders, the connecting member also including cam-like projections which project into the bore hole in the region directed toward the outside of the elements, the bayonet shoulders of the bayonet screw engaging under the cam-like projections.
