Tape cassette and magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus used therefor

摘要

The present invention has been achieved to provide a novel tape cassette capable of stable and excellent magnetic recording and reproducing operations realizes highly accurate head touch necessary for tendency to Hi-Fi and digitization with a simple structure that does not require relatively high shape accuracy. In order to achieve the above object, a novel tape cassette for use in magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus of fixed head type, comprises: magnetic tape 2, a pressure pad 3 and a pad base 13 having the pressure pad 3 fixed thereon, incorporated in a tape cassette 10, being characterized in that when a magnetic head 8 is inserted in the tape cassette 10, the pad base 3 is positioned relative to the magnetic head 8 by positioning pins 17a and 17b disposed in the magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus.
