ABSTRACT:
A tape cassette for a magnetic recording and/or reproducing apparatus has at least one reel contained in a housing formed with an opening through which a tape wound on the reel can be withdrawn from the cassette housing for the recording of signals thereon or reproducing the signals therefrom, by one or more rotary magnetic heads, and a lid is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 to protect the tape from damage. The cassette is provided with a brake member which is responsive to the position of the lid thereby to prevent rotation of the reel when the lid closes the opening and to permit free rotation of the reel when the opening is exposed for use in the recording and/or reproducing apparatus.
