ABSTRACT:
An improved tape cartridge includes a housing having a rigid base member and means for covering the base member. The base member is a one-piece structure having a bottom of flat-cross-section and a plurality of holes extending through the bottom. The base member includes three side walls with two side walls being opposed and the side walls extending upwardly generally perpendicular to the bottom. Preferably, the base member is die casted and made from aluminum alloy. The housing includes a resilient cover, preferably made from plastic which does not distort the base member's flatness upon assembly. The cover has a front wall which extends downward generally perpendicular to a top portion of the cover and the front wall has an open face. Means for connecting the cover and base member are included.
