<p>A tape cartridge comprising a housing, a single tape reel turnably held within the housing, the tape reel carrying a length of tape wound thereon, the outer end of the tape being fixed to a leader member, which can be taken out of the cartridge through an opening formed in the housing by a tape draw-out member of a recording-reproducing apparatus, the leader member being composed of a pin member and a C-shaped resin clamp, the wall thickness H1 of the C-shaped clamp portions defining the open portion and the wall thickness H2 of the clamp portion opposite to the open portion being in the ranges of H1 = 0.7 to 1.0 mm and H2/H1 = 0.6 to 0.8. Preferably, the outer surfaces of the clamp portions defining the open portion are beveled in the directions that reduce the resistances to be encountered at the time of assembling. <IMAGE></p> |
