Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent foreign matters from adhering on a mounted tape, by installing a back cover whose one end forms a part of the upper surface of a tape cassette and the other end is in contact with or is close to one end of the front cover. CONSTITUTION:A cover opening means 38 relatively advances in the direction shown by an arrow 39 from the bottom in the direction of the thickness of a tape cassette 1 at a location which corresponds to the notch 37 of a front cover 3 and the cover opening arm 36 of a back cover 4, and pushes up the front end of the cover opening arm 36. As the arm 36 is pushed up, the back cover 4 rotates in the direction shown by an arrow 40, and, since a surface which forms the notch 37 of the front cover 3 exists in the rotating area of the front end of the cover opening arm 36, the front cover 3 is also rotated in the direction shown by an arrow 41 by the cover opening arm 36. As the cover opening means 38 advances further,the notch 37 of the front cover 3 gets out of the rotating area of the front end of the cover opening arm 36. The cover opening means 38 has two parts having different heights so that the front cover 3 and back cover 4 can be rotated separately until they reach the most suitable position.

Conventionally, the tape was stretched along the opening provided on the front side of the tape to prevent dust from adhering to it and contact with foreign objects such as fingers, and to prevent deterioration of tape performance. In some cases, not only a front lid covers the front surface of the tape, but also an opening into which a post for pulling out the tape from the casing is inserted, is closed with a slide cover, or a member is provided to cover the inner surface of the tape. However, in the case of a structure in which the opening is closed by a slide cover, the tape cassette becomes thicker by the thickness of the slide cover, and the structure becomes complicated in order to smoothly move the slide cover. Additionally, the slide cover can be moved extremely easily with your fingers.

3 I gave it a rating of 7 because it is an issue where contact with the beige tape is easily possible. - For tape cassettes where the opening into which the tape drawer post is inserted is relatively small, the entire flexible body such as Mylar film comes into contact with the inside of the tape stretched on the front, and there is a risk of contact with foreign matter that enters through the opening. There are structures that protect against However, if the area of the tape stretched over the opening is large, permanent deformation will occur due to changes in temperature and humidity during long-term storage of the flexible body, making it difficult to completely cover the tape from the inside. It is. A structure in which a flexible body is integrated and rotated continuously in the longitudinal direction of the tape as a member that covers the tape from the inside of the casing is also considered, but the rotation range of the rigid body is limited and the opening It has problems such as not being able to take up a large area.

The following configuration can be considered to solve these problem sounds to some extent. In other words, as a means of protecting the tape stretched on the front of the casing from the inside, the tape stretched at a position facing the front cover is covered from the inside through the stretched tape, and the tape is covered with a different rotation than the front cover. It has a moving fulcrum and covers the stretched tape from the inside, and at least within the stretching range of the tape facing the opening, one end in the rotating direction of No. 7 covers a part of the top surface of the tape cassette. Form the other end.

In this way, this configuration is extremely simple even for tape cassettes that cover a large area within the opening of the stretching tape, and is particularly effective against contact with fingers, dust, etc. from inside the opening.
Although the tape 103 is designed to completely prevent deterioration of tape performance due to the accumulation of dust, depending on the precision of each part, dust and dirt may accumulate at the stretched position of the tape 103 even in the state shown in Figure 1. It may invade. For example, the lower side of the tape 103 is the protrusion 104a of the front lid 104.
and the protrusion 106a of the back cover 106 come into contact with each other, and the difference between the two is the width of the cassette.

Or, since it is only slightly shorter than that, extremely high precision is required to completely contact such a section. Particularly if it is a molded part made of resin, it is possible that it may warp slightly during use, and accuracy cannot be expected to be very high, so in the end, a gap will form at this contact point.
Dirt and dust are a common threat to every human being.
