Magnetic tape cartridge

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To assemble members easily by providing a thin and long spring member which has a bent part nearly at the center in the lengthwise direction of a cartridge and by push-packing it between the internal surface of a lock plate and inside wall of an accommodation room from above through the bent part so as to bend the member in an inverted U-shape. CONSTITUTION:Front and read side walls 16 and 17 of an accommodation room 13 have pivoting grooves 18 at their upper edges. When a lock plate 1 is dropped in the accommodation room 13 with an unlocking projection 22 adjacent to an external wall 14, the pivot part 15 of the lock plate 11 slides into the pivoting grooves 18 along slanting opening edges 30. Then, a spring member 12 is equipped. The spring member 12, when received and supported in a recess groove in the state of stepping over an outside wall 14 and an inside wall 26, is pressed down by a tool at its center bent part 12a, so that the spring member is equipped in the accommodation room.
