Magnetic tape cartridge
Abstract
A magnetic tape cartridge includes a cartridge case, which is formed by fastening upper and lower cases integrally and has a tape leader opening in side walls of the upper and lower cases. Within the cartridge case, a single reel with magnetic tape wound thereon is rotatably housed. A slender leader pin firmly attached to the leading end of the magnetic tape is detachably held near the tape leader opening and between the upper and lower cases. In the magnetic tape cartridge, a small-diameter pin for fastening the upper and lower cases is press-fitted near a holding portion of the cartridge case which holds the leader pin.
