ABSTRACT:
A bezel (100) mitigates cartridge over ejection from a tape drive, the tape drive receiving and ejecting a cartridge of magnetic tape for performing recording and reading operations with respect to the magnetic tape. The bezel (100) comprises both a bezel plate (102) and a pair of cartridge braking projections (120) attached thereto. The cartridge braking projections partially extend into a cartridge slot (104) and retard motion of a cartridge travelling through the slot. The cartridge braking projections (120) are resilient and bidirectionally flexible, preferably being formed of cellular urethane. The cartridge braking projections (120) extend into the slot by a predetermined distance above a lower cartridge plane (115). In one embodiment, the bezel (100) is attached to a rack which accommodates the tape drive.
