<p>@ A brake mechanism for a pair of reels of a tape cassette includes a base member (82) slidable in a guideway (52) in a direction extending between the pair of reels. A pair of stopper members or arms (84, 86) are hinged (88, 90) on the base member (82) and extend away therefrom for arbitrarily engaging with teeth (24, 26) on flanges (20, 22) of the reels. The base block (82) includes a spring hold pin (96) to which is anchored a spring (100) which urges the stopper members (84, 86) towards the teeth (24, 26) to lock the reels in position.</p> |
