ABSTRACT:
A cassette housing has an inlet and accommodates in its interior a turntable provided with a tape-engaging hub. The turntable is rotatable about a normally upright axis in one direction to take tape up on the hub, and in the opposite direction to pay tape out from the hub. A pair of guide baffles guides the tape for travel between the inlet and the hub. An articulated band of curved band sections surrounds the hub over a portion of arc and rests freely slidably on the turntable so that when the same is rotated in take-up direction the articulated band contracts about the hub to urge tape on the same against the hub, whereas when the turntable is rotated in the pay-out direction the articulated band expands about the hub to recede outwardly from it so as to permit unobstructed paying-out of the tape.
