ABSTRACT:
In order to diminish the effects of debris on recording and playback in a cartridge loaded recorder, adhesive material is placed inside the enclosed magnetic tape cartridge. The adhesive is placed on appropriate interior walls and other available surfaces of the cartridge, and is covered by a protective screen having holes through which the debris may pass. The size of the holes is large relative to the debris size. The adhesive material is located clear of the magnetic tape path, magnetic heads and guides, and if an inadvertent tape loop occurs in the cartridge, the protective screen insures that the magnetic tape cannot come into contact with the adhesive proper. Any losse debris, however, incident on the holes of the protective screen is captured and immobilized by sticking to the adhesive material.
