ABSTRACT:
A magnetic tape cartridge includes a casing having a tape chamber defined therein for accommodating a reeled magnetic recording tape and, also, box arms protruding outwardly from a front wall section of the casing so as to leave a loading bay that opens upwardly, frontwardly and downwardly and is thus delimited by upwardly, frontwardly and downwardly oriented open areas. The casing includes a lid assembly for selectively concealing and exposing that portion of magnetic recording tape and including front, top and rear lids operatively linked together. The front and top lids are adapted to selectively open and close the frontwardly and upwardly oriented open areas of the loading bay, respectively, while the rear lid is positioned within the loading bay and adapted to selectively open and close a space delimited between the front and the rear lid. At least first and second, generally cylindrical bosses extend between the top and bottom panels of the casing and are positioned at respective points of intersection between inner side walls of the box arms, which confront the loading bay, and the front wall section so as to partially protrude laterally into the loading bay. Each boss has a positioning hole defined axially therein so as to extend exteriorly through one of the top and bottom walls of the casing and is comprised of upper and lower boss segments aligned axially with each other. The upper boss segment has an outer diameter smaller than that of the lower boss segment.
