ABSTRACT:
A tape guide for use in a magnetic tape cassette for guiding the magnetic tape includes a cylindrical member having a slit extending along its length. The slit defines first and second edge forces that face each other. In one embodiment, a plurality of tabs are connected to the first and second edge faces of the cylindrical member and extend towards the oppositely positioned edge face. The tabs overlap one another and serve to inhibit the tape guide from becoming interlocked with another tape guide. In another embodiment, a plurality of outdented portions extend from both edge faces and each outdented portion is positioned opposite to an indented portion on the opposite edge face.
