摘要:
A reel brake device for a tape reel of a magnetic tape cassette has a pair of braking strips for a supply reel and a take-up reel. The braking strips are formed with at least one hinged section to allow resilient deformation in order to absorb kinematic energy exerted on the braking strips from the tape reel as the reel is subjected to rotational torque or lateral force. By providing the capability of resilient deformation for the braking strips, braking engagement can be maintained even when vibration exerting rotational force is applied to the tape reels.

A tape cassette for video or audio units which consists of a housing having an upper half and a lower half, the upper half being composed mainly of an opaque material, the upper half having a transparent window portion on the upper wall thereof. A cover portion is laminated to the upper half, the cover portion being composed of a transparent material, the window portion consisting of a single layer of the transparent material, with an additional portion of the upper half formed of a double layer of the transparent material and the opaque material.

A tape cassette arrangement includes structures formed integrally with the cassette halves or simply fitted into the light transmission apertures. Specific embodiments of the invention include light polarizing elements which are fitted into apertures formed in the sides of the cassette, corrugations on the interior of the cassette proximate the apertures, and shielding walls which are located to block light and in particular that light which tends to enter through a large window provided in the upper surface of the cassette and through which the status of the tape is visible.

A tape cassette case for accommodating therein a tape cassette is increased in airtight property and is also prevented from being damaged when dropped. Further, this tape cassette case is a high-class tape cassette and excellent in external appearance. A case body portion (1) and a lid portion (2) are molded by a dichromatic molding process of a polypropylene (3) and a thermoplastic elastomer (4) serving as a surface material of the polypropylene (3). Of contact portions of the case body portion (1) and the lid portion (2), the contact portion of the case body portion (1) is molded by the thermoplastic elastomer (4) and the contact portion of the lid portion (2) is molded by the polypropylene (3).

A tape cassette reel having an upper flange portion and a lower flange portion formed as one body with a reel hub, in which the central portion of the upper flange portion is made of an opaque resin and a peripheral portion thereof is made of a transparent resin by a dichromatic molding process and a stepped portion is formed on a bonding surface between the central portion and the peripheral portion of the upper flange portion so as to increase a bonding strength of the bonding surface.
摘要:
A tape cassette reel of the type having an opaque, upper flange portion which is bonded to an outer peripheral flange portion and to an integrally formed lower flange portion and reel hub, wherein a shock-absorbing rib portion is formed on a radially inner surface of the outer peripheral flange portion so as to oppose an end face of the reel hub, and a pouring gate mark is formed on the radially inner side of the shock-absorbing rib portion during molding of the outer peripheral flange portion.

A tape cassette having a reel lock mechanism which includes a slider adapted to slide in frontward and rearward directions within a cassette housing; a pair of lock pawls adapted to engage with outer circumferential toothed portions of a pair of reels to lock rotation of the reels in tape slacking directions, the lock pawls being rotatably mounted on the slider; a first spring for biasing the lock pawls to rotate the same in such a direction as to engage the lock pawls with the toothed portions of the reels; a second spring for biasing the slider to slide the same in the frontward direction and drive the reels through the lock pawls in tape winding directions; and a pair of guides for rotating the lock pawls in such a direction as to disengage the lock pawls from the toothed portions against a biasing force of the first spring when the slider is slid in the rearward direction. Accordingly, when the reels are locked by the lock pawls, the reels are rotationally driven in the tape winding directions to thereby securely prevent slacking of the tape.

A tape cassette includes a main lid which is pivotally mounted on an open end of a cassette shell. The main lid pivotally mounts a sub lid having a cam boss portion which is positioned in a lower end of a cam groove provided at each side of the open end of the cassette shell. A portion of the cassette shell supporting the cam groove also includes a tape guide surface backed by a concave portion. A rib is provided across the concave portion to prevent the cam boss from entering thereinto during closing operation of the cassette, thus preventing jamming and assuring reliable opening and closing operation of the tape cassette.
摘要:
A tape cassette comprising upper and lower halves secured to each other to define a space containing a pair of tape reels. The upper half is formed in its upper surface with a depression. The upper half is provided with a window opening above one of the tape reels. A transparent window plate is provided on the upper half. The window plate is made through a molding process using a gate to spout a fused transparent synthetic resin into a molding cavity. The transparent window plate has a first portion covering the window opening and a second portion extending a substantial length from the first portion over the depression. The window plate second portion has a gate mark made thereon after the molding process. The gate mark is hidden under a label stuck on the depression.
摘要:
In order to prevent drop-out in recording and reproducing, a cassette back lid is constituted by a first swing plate having a first engagement member engageable with a first cam surface, and a second swing plate having a second engagement member engageable with a second cam surface. The first swing plate is urged by torsion springs, in the lid opening direction. Therefore, a rotational operation of a cassette front lid in the lid opening direction causes the first swing plate to swing in the lid opening direction, and the second swing plate to swing in the lid opening direction, independently of the swing motion of the first swing plate, that is, the first and second swing plates swing relative to each other and also relative to the front lid in response to the swinging movements of the front lid between its opened and closed positions. This arrangement makes it possible to add the cassette back lid behind the front lid without changing the conventional open angle, and to improve the ability of protecting the tape.
