<p>A reel-to-reel tape cartridge 10 includes two tape guides 45, 100, 100' for guiding the tape 12 to and from respective tape reels 14, 16. The tape guides 45, 100, 100' have a large radius of curvature and are flanged to form a long trough 98 to guide and align the tape to improve tape tracking. The tape guides 45, 100, 100' are formed of two flange pieces 50, 52, 102, 104, 102', 104' separated by a tape surface piece 54, 106 and a post 56, 108, 108'. Each flange piece 50, 52, 102, 104, 102', 104' is generally semi-circular and includes three notches 68, 70, 72 which receive tabs 82, 84, 86, 122, 123, 124 on the tape surface piece to secure the tape surface piece. The tape surface piece is formed as a type of leaf spring that is loaded when it is assembled between the flange pieces. The post can be cylindrical or flat. <IMAGE></p> |
