MAGNETIC-TAPE CASSETTE

摘要

A device having a pivotal cover, such as a magnetic tape cassette, for covering one or more front openings between the front edges of two major walls which extend generally parallel away from the opening. The cover has flanges by which it is connected at the sides of the device, through a pivot pin and a straight slot, on the pivot axis, and another pin which engages a circular segment slot. The circular segment slot has a recessed portion which the other pin engages when the cover is closed. The cover must be moved in a direction away from both major walls, to an unlatched position, before it can be pivoted to an open position adjacent one or the other of the major walls.
