Recording tape cartridge and drive device thereof

摘要

A recording tape cartridge used with a drive device that includes a pull-out member connectable at an end of a recording tape accommodated in the recording tape cartridge to pull out the recording tape. The recording tape cartridge comprises the recording tape, a case for accommodating a single reel wound with the recording tape and a leader member fixed at the end of the recording tape and having claw members that connect to the pull-out member when the recording tape is being pulled out. The claw member engages with a circulating groove formed at the pull-out member by the pull-out member being pressed against the leader member, and the claw member disengages from the circulating groove by a subsequent pressing, thereby allowing the end of the recording tape to be joined to and released from the pull-out member.
