<p> A magnetic tape cassette for use in a magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus has a sliding plate (10) provided on a lower surface (3b) to selectively cover and expose insertion apertures (5,6) that open into the interior of the cassette. A front lid (9) is provided which may be pivoted to either expose or cover a front opening (1a) in the cassette through which tape (7) may be withdrawn for a recording/ reproducing operation. When the front lid (9) is in its closed position and the sliding plate (10) covers the insertion apertures (5, 6), the front lid (9) is locked in its closed position. The magnetic tape cassette is thereby closed to prevent dust, oil and other contaminants from damaging the magnetic tape (7) within.</p> |
