Tape cassette

摘要

A tape cassette for a recording/reproducing apparatus comprises a cassette casing comprising an upper half and a lower half (2), a front cover (7) provided to cover a front opening portion of the cassette casing for protecting a magnetic tape (5) and for opening and closing the front opening portion and a locking member (9) provided on at least one of right and left side surfaces of the cassette casing to lock the front cover when it is closed. A gap (T) is formed between an outer side surface of the cassette casing (6) and an inner side surface of the front cover (7) so as to permit insertion of a member which serves to release the locking member (9) from being locked. A projection is formed on an inner surface of the front cover covering the gap. <IMAGE>
