<p>A tape cartridge including a single tape reel around which a length of magnetic tape is wound and which is turnably held within a housing, the beginning of the tape being fixed to a leader so that it can be drawn out through an opening formed in the housing by a tape drawing-out member of a recorder which has a pin-like or hooked end capable of engaging the tape end, said leader comprising a center part (pin-like member) on which the beginning of the tape is wound and a pair of engaging members joined to the upper and lower ends of the member so as to engage the tape drawing-out member of the recorder, said engaging members having a plurality of recesses each for engaging the drawing-out member. Thus the engaging members can consist of members identical in structure. In another aspect of the invention, the center member has position-confining portions formed close to its both ends to confine the positions of the engaging members. <IMAGE></p> |
