A tape cassette includes a box-like housing, a tape mounted within the housing, a hole and a first indicator portion. The housing includes a top wall having a top surface, a bottom wall having a bottom surface and opposing the top wall, and a front wall having a specified height and being formed along peripheries of the top wall and the bottom wall. The hole is provided in the front wall. The first indicator portion includes at least one first aperture and indicates a first element among a plurality of elements of a type of the tape. The first indicator portion is provided in a portion, spaced from the front wall, of the bottom wall. The hole and the one first aperture is located to intersect a virtual line orthogonal to the front wall when viewing along a vertical direction orthogonal to the top wall and the bottom wall. |

1. A tape cassette comprising:
a box-like housing that includes a top wall having a top surface, a bottom wall having a bottom surface and opposing the top wall, and a front wall being formed along peripheries of the top wall and the bottom wall; a tape mounted within the box-like housing; an ink ribbon mounted within the box-like housing and to be used for printing on the tape; a ribbon take-up spool on which a used ink ribbon is to be wound, the used ink ribbon being a portion of the ink ribbon that has been used for printing, the ribbon take-up spool being rotatably supported by a first support through-hole provided in the top wall and a second support through-hole provided in the bottom wall; a hole provided in the front wall; and a first indicator portion including at least one first indicator aperture and indicating a first element among a plurality of elements of a type of the tape, the first indicator portion being provided in a portion, spaced from the front wall, of the bottom wall, wherein the first support through-hole, the second support through-hole, the hole, and a first aperture of the at least one first indicator aperture intersect a first virtual line orthogonal to the front wall when viewing along a vertical direction orthogonal to the top wall and the bottom wall, the first virtual line being located between a center line orthogonal to the front wall and a second virtual line orthogonal to the front wall, the center line being located at a center position in a left-right direction of the tape cassette, the left-right direction being a direction orthogonal to the vertical direction and orthogonal to the first virtual line, the second virtual line passing through center positions of the first support through-hole and the second support through-hole when viewing along the vertical direction, wherein a first virtual flat plane including a whole of a first opening edge, formed on the bottom surface, of the first aperture provided in the bottom wall is substantially orthogonal to a second virtual flat plane including a whole of a second opening edge, formed on a surface of the front wall, of the hole provided in the front wall. |
