ABSTRACT:
An integrally molded tape cassette has a base with vertical first and second side walls. A rear wall is attached to the base by an integral hinge. A cover is attached to the rear wall by an integral hinge, and a dust door is attached to the cover by an integral hinge. Snaps between the cover and base connect and close the apparatus with integral springs pressing on tape reel hubs. The dust door covers a forward wall protruding from the base between the first and second side walls. The forward wall has slots and posts for allowing passing of the tape between the interior and exterior of the cassette. The cassette further includes a dust door latch which is integrally molded with one of the sides of the tape. An integrally molded tape hub brake is positioned between the hubs for locking the hub flanges when the cassette is not in use.
