ABSTRACT:
In a tape cassette for use in a magnetic recording and/or reproducing apparatus and which is of the type having at least one reel contained in a cassette casing formed with an opening through which a tape wound on the reel can be withdrawn from the cassette casing for the recording of signals thereon or reproducing the signals therefrom, tape guide members are arranged at opposite sides of the opening for guiding the tape in a path which extends along the opening, and a brake member provided to prevent the reel from rotating when the tape cassette is not used, an improvement is made wherein at least one tape guide member is integrally formed on the brake member. In one embodiment the tape guide member integrally formed on the brake member is distant from the pivotal axis of the brake member so as to alter the length of the tape path when the brake member is rotated.
