A casing for electronic appliances is disclosed. The casing has an inner case having spaces defined therein by partitions, the spaces being adapted to receive various manipulation members, and an outer case adapted to be closely fitted to the outside of the inner case. In assembling, the outer case is fitted to the outside of the inner case, after placing respective manipulation members in respective spaces in the inner case, so that the manipulation parts are firmly clamped between the inner and outer cases of the casing.

A utility container comprising a container body, a plurality of drawers, a plurality of drawer guide inserts and a slide cover, the slide cover being substantially biplanar to enclose the front and top of the container body, one edge of the cover being wrapped around the rear panel of the container body and the other edge being wrapped around the bottom of the container body to limit displacement of the cover relative to the container to a lateral sliding displacement, and the plurality of drawers and drawer guide inserts being easily removed and rearranged or replaced with a recording tape cassette or cartridge storage insert. Two or more such containers may be stacked on one another by way of a slot and raised rear wall member.

A silverware basket for use in a dishwasher, the silverware basket having a rear wall, a water previous front wall spaced from the rear wall, a water pervious bottom wall connecting the front and rear walls and a plurality of upper and lower dividers extending between the rear wall and the front wall to provide a substatially solid upper and lower barrier between the front and rear walls. The combination of the upper divider and lower divider define a substantially vertical plane or wall bounded by the rear wall, the bottom wall, the front wall and a top of the front wall, wherein a minority of an area of the plane or wall is solid. In the preferred embodiment, the dividers are formed integrally with and project from the rear wall toward and engage with the front wall.

A cassette and video tape holder comprising an upper case body and a lower case body assembled together. The upper case body can be pulled to slide in relation to the lower case body and a pivotally movable lid is connected to the upper case body which is automatically opened by the sliding of the upper case body so that a tape contained within the holder can be removed.

It is desired to simplify the problem of putting cassettes in order and to extract cassettes, and to avoid throwing away the standard cassette boxes. The cabinet can hold cassette boxes (5) such as the standard type of cassette boxes in regular commercial use. Swinging components (3) swinging on an axis (4) hold the boxes (5). Each component (3), in its rest position is held in place by a disengageable lug. Cabinets (1) can be connected together in a row by grooves (10) and ribs (11) in dove-tail form. A cover (2) can be fixed removably by means of projections (12) which engage in the grooves (13). The cover can serve as a handle. The cover can receive a cabinet superimposed on the first one by removable connection means (14, 15).
