ABSTRACT:
When a recording tape cartridge is not in use, rotation of a reel, which abuts an annular rib of a floor plate of a case, is locked by a braking member which meshes together from above with an engaging gear, and a gap between the braking member and a spacer wall of a ceiling plate is filled-in by a spacer portion of a spacer member, and movement away from the annular rib is impeded. When, due to operation of a drive device, the spacer portion enters into a relief portion of the braking member which relief portion opens upwardly, the braking member is raised up by an amount corresponding to the gap formed between the braking member and the spacer wall, and meshing of the braking member and the engaging gear is cancelled. The reel thereby becomes able to rotate and to move away from the annular rib.
