ABSTRACT:
A tape cartridge having a right and left pair of reels around which a tape is wound, within a casing equipped with a front cover, a reel lock mechanism provided within the casing for preventing the reels from rotating, a release member is disposed on the inner, upper face of the bottom wall of the casing so as to be movable back and forth, a slider for opening and closing the lower face of the pocket for tape loading fitted to the outer, lower face of the bottom wall of the casing so as to be movable back and forth, such that when the slider moves backward, the release member is moved backward nearly at the terminating end of the backward travel stroke of the slider, so as the backward movement of the release member, the reel lock mechanism is moved, thereby releasing the reels from locking for rotation, thus, while the front cover is kept from any excessive upward opening force, the reels can be locked and released for rotation by the movement of the slider.
