ABSTRACT:
A tape cassette having supply and take-up reels rotatably disposed in a housing and a supply of tape wound on the reels and extending between the latter is provided with a one-piece, molded-plastic braking member for each reel which is urged to an engaged position when the cassette is not in use by means of a spring of springs formed integrally with the braking member, and which is operative in such engaged position to securely hold the respective reel against rotation in the direction for unwinding the tape therefrom, while permitting substantially free rotation of the respective reel independently of the other in the direction for rewinding the tape on the reel.
