Record/not record latch for recording cassette.

摘要

A recording cassette (10) has a latch (24) that pivots between two positions. A plug (27) at one extremity of the latch (24) either blocks or unblocks a record/not record opening at an under wall (13) of the cassette (10) while a relatively large flange (28) at the other extremity of the latch (24) can either be seen or unseen at the label wall (12) to indicate the record/not record status. By making the latch (24) of a color that contrasts with the label wall (12), mistakes in observing the record/not record status are virtually precluded.
