SINGLE REEL DATA STORAGE TAPE CARTRIDGE WITH INTERNAL TAPE GUIDE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a single reel data storage tape cartridge with an internal tape guide. SOLUTION: The single reel data storage tape cartridge includes a housing having a tape access window. A single tape reel assembly is rotatably disposed within the housing and includes a hub about which a storage tape is wrapped. The tape guide is disposed within the housing adjacent to the single tape reel assembly while opposing the tape access window, and is configured to define a pathway of the storage tape from the single tape reel assembly to the tape access window and limit lateral motion of the storage tape.
