Abstract:
In an interpose lever (60) for holding in a tape drive (10) a tape cartridge (20) formed with a recess (21) thereon, a movable base (11a) has a protrusion (614) to be engaged with the recess to inhibit the tape cartridge from being released. A release arm (63) is rotatably attached to the base for releasing engagement between the protrusion and the recess. The release arm is urged by a spring (64) in a predetermined rotating direction. A shaft (617) is formed integral with the base to serve as a rotation center member of the release arm.
