ABSTRACT:
A tape cassette for a magnetic recording and/or reproducing apparatus has a housing formed with an opening through which the tape can be withdrawn from the cassette housing for the recording or reproducing of signals thereon, as by one or more rotary magnetic heads, and a lid is provided to normally close the housing opening when the cassette is not in use and thereby protect the tape from damage thereto. The cassette housing is provided with guides thereon extending at right angles to each other, for example, parallel to the relatively long and short sides of the cassette housing when the latter is rectangular, for the purpose of guiding the cassette into a holder therefor in either of the directions parallel to the long and short sides, respectively, of the housing. A latch mechanism is provided for locking the lid in its closed position, and such latch mechanism is releasable in response to the insertion of the cassette into a holder in either of the foregoing directions.
