ABSTRACT:
A miniature audio tape cassette is provided with a slide guard which normally covers the reel insertion holes of the cassette when the cassette is not in use. The slide guard is engaged with the cassette body by inserting portions of the same between the assembled upper and lower cassette halves. In one embodiment, the slide guard is provided with an engaging part which includes a portion slidable along the inside surface of the upper cassette half. The upper surface of this sliding portion is tapered in order to facilitate assembly of the slide guard, the upper cassette half, and the lower cassette half. According to a second embodiment, the slide guard is provided with inwardly extending portions which form overhangs with respect to the lower cassette halves. The engaging portion abuts against a flanged surface of the upper cassette half and has a tapered portion which engages a similarly tapered surface of the sides of the lower cassette halves. Alternatively, the overhang may be provided in a shape of a cup, forming a groove, and the flat upper surfaces of the side walls of the lower cassette body are slidably received within the groove so formed.
