ABSTRACT:
A recording tape cartridge disclosed with an increased strength leads to a compact drive device. A rectangular case of the recording tape cartridge accommodates a single reel on which a recording tape is wound. An opening for pulling out a leader member attached to an end of the recording tape is formed in a corner disposed closest to the drive device among corners of the case at the time of insertion into the drive device. The recording tape cartridge includes a shield slidable to open and close the opening, a guide wall for guiding the shield, and a friction-reducing device protruding from the shield. The guide wall is provided along an inner surface of the case. The friction-reducing device abuts the guide surface of the guide wall in order to reduce friction between the shield and the guide surface.
