ABSTRACT:
An adaptor for converting a video cartridge to a videocassette format. The adaptor includes a tether band which is used to draw tape from the cartridge and guide the tape across the tape path to a take-up reel inside the adaptor. The tether band is a self supporting cantilever structure eliminating the need for a positive locking clasp connection between the tape and the tether. A single axis non clasping interconnector for use with the band is shown with complimentary alignment zones.
