CONTAINER FOR MAGNETIC TAPE

摘要

TITLE OF THE INVENTION Container For Magnetic Tape A cassette for accommodating a magnetic tape designed for use in a magnetic recording and/or reproducing apparatus is comprised of a protective covering provided at an access opening of the cassette into which access opening a transducer head assembly is adapted to project to contact a portion of the magnetic tape. The protective covering is movable between projected and retracted positions and, when held in the projected position, shields that portion of the magnetic tape. When the protective covering is moved to the retracted position, that portion of the magnetic tape is bared outside the cassette fox permitting the transducer head assembly to contact that portion of the magnetic tape. The cassette is further provided with a braking lever which applies a braking force to both reels to prevent the magnetic tape from being loosened.
