ABSTRACT:
A tape cartridge access door includes a body having two flanges and a pseudo-head therebetween. In the open position, the access door permits a tape head to be mated with the tape in the cartridge. In the closed position, the body and flanges close openings in three adjacent walls of the tape cartridge. Also in the closed position, the pseudo-head occupies the space otherwise occupied by the tape head when the tape head is mated with the tape. The pseudo-head thus prevents the tape from being drawn taut straight when the access door is closed. The access door may pivot or slide between the open position and the closed position.
