Locking mechanism of magnetic tape cassette

摘要

A locking mechanism for a front cover of a magnetic tape cassette which occupies only a small space is disclosed. The locking mechanism comprises a locking lever provided in at least one of the both ends of the cassette case, an elastic member always deflecting the locking lever toward an end plate of the front cover of the cassette case and an achoring member provided in one of end plates of the front cover so as to be engageable with an anchoring click of the locking lever, and the locking lever is slidably guided by a guiding mechanism formed in the cassette case.
