Slack limiter post

摘要

A tape cassette includes a base and a cover. A supply reel and a take-up reel are rotatably mounted in the base, and tape is wound around the reels and extends around a guide pin and across a tape path. A slack limiter includes a post mounted in the housing spaced from the guide pin. The post creates a gap through which the tape passes. When the supply reel is not driven, the post prevents the tape from spilling out of the cassette.
