ABSTRACT:
A tape cassette comprises a housing, a pair of reels, and a mount mounting the reels for rotation in the housing. A recording tape is wound on the reels and extends therebetween for transport from one of the reels to the other. The housing is formed with an opening through which a transducer can gain access to the recording tape for recording or reproducing signals on or from the recording tape. A lid is provided, together with a pivot shaft pivotally connecting the lid to the housing so that the lid can be moved selectively between a first position closing the opening and a second position uncovering the opening. The lid is formed with an engagement portion displaced from the pivot shaft in such a manner that, when the tape cassette is seated by a seating force for playing in a cassette player, the lid moves from the first position to the second position in response to a force applied to the engagement portion, the force having a component substantially parallel to the seating force.
