<p>A tape cartridge access door (26, 626) which includes a body having two flanges (27, 28) and a pseudo-head (29, 629) therebetween. In the open position, the access door (26) permits a tape head (402) to be mated with the tape (1) in the cartridge (10). In the closed position, the body and flanges close openings in three adjacent walls of the tape cartridge. Also in the closed position, the pseudo-head (29, 629) occupies the space otherwise occupied by the tape head (402) when the tape head is mated with the tape (1). The pseudo-head (29, 629) thus prevents the tape (1) from being drawn taut straight when the access door (26, 626) is closed. The access door may pivot (26) or slide (626) between the open position and the closed position. <IMAGE></p> |
