Abstract
Abstract A cassette (A) which can be mounted in a recording apparatus (B) includes a first winding member (219) for winding one side of the strip member (202), a second winding member (220) for winding the other side of the strip member (202), and a frame for rotatively housing the first and second winding members (219;220), a first regulating member for regulating the rotation of the first winding member (219) when the cassette (A) is removed from the recording apparatus, and a second regulating member for regulating the rotation of the second winding member (220) when the cassette (A) is removed from the recording apparatus (B). With the simple structure enabling the cassette (A) to be easily assembled, it is possible to prevent the idle run of the winding members (219;220) as well as the slacking of the strip member (202).
