<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress movement of a storage tape in the lateral direction and to minimize wear in the storage tape by containing a hub sized and shaped so as to receive the storage tape and a pair of guide bars fixed to the hub and mutually separating the guide bars so as to guide better the storage tape between the guide bars on the hub. SOLUTION: A take-up reel 16 contains the hub 42, a bar spacer 44, a pair of guide bars 46 and a pair of flanges 48. The guide bars 46 are fitted to the bar spacer 44, and are separated by the bar spacer 44. Preferably, the bar spacer 44 is provided with spacer width 78 narrower than the hub width. Then, when the guide bars 46 are fitted to the bar spacer 44, the guide bars 46 are curved outward. Then, the guide bars 46 guide the storage tape onto the hub 42. The guide bar 46 is provided with a circular and curved section. Thus, the guide bars 46 guide precisely and gently the storage tape onto the hub 42.</p> |
