ABSTRACT:
A case is disclosed for storing and transporting a tape cassette having at least one tape reel that includes a clutch element registrable with a corresponding driving spindle of a reel drive mchanism so that the reel may be rotated. The case comprises a base formed to receive the cassette and a non-rotating latch pin registrable with the clutch element of the reel to prevent reel rotation and, hence, unwinding of stored tape. The latch pin is mounted with the base by a leaf spring assembly which permits the pin to retract to accommodate the cassette when not registered with the clutch element. However, the spring assembly urges the pin into reel-rotation preventing engagement with the element when the two are registered.
