ABSTRACT:
A magnetic tape cassette is provided with a pivotal closure lid pivotably secured to opposite edges of a casing for movement between a closed position, in which the front opening of the casing through which a magnetic tape can be extracted for loading onto a rotary head while not in use, and an open position wherein the closure lid is pivoted away from said opening to allow access to the tape while in use, is also provided with a sliding closure member slidably mounted on one face of the casing and cooperative with the aforementioned pivotal closure lid, which sliding closure member is held either in a closed position while the pivotal closure lid is in its closed position to cover a bottom spacing through while a device constituting part of a tape handling mechanism may be inserted, or an open position while the pivotal closure lid is in its open position to allow the aforementioned device of the tape handling mechanism to engage the casing through the bottom spacing for extracting the tape for loading onto the rotary head, and is retained at least in the closed by means of a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism comprises a pair of locking members provided adjacent both lateral sides of the magnetic tape cassette and are associated with the cassette casing. The pair of locking members are adapted to resiliently establish locking engagement with the sliding closure member at locations adjacent both lateral sides of the magnetic tape cassette.
