Patent number: 7216826Abstract: A magnetic tape cartridge includes a reel around which a magnetic tape is wound, a cartridge case rotatably accommodating the reel, a reel lock for locking rotation of the reel relative to the cartridge case, a resilient member urging the reel lock toward the reel, a release pad for disengaging the reel lock by displacing the reel lock against an urging force of the resilient member, so as to allow rotation of the reel, and a pivot provided on the reel lock at a position facing with and slidably contacting a contact surface of the release pad in a manner allowing rotation of the release pad. The pivot and the contact surface are both made of resin, and the contact surface is made of a resin having a higher hardness than the pivot.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2004Date of Patent: May 15, 2007Assignee: Fujifilm CorporationInventors: Akihiko Fujii, Kiichiro Kitagawa, Seiji Tsuyuki, Seiji Oodate

Patent number: 6994286Abstract: A magnetic tape cartridge is constructed by rotatably housing a reel having magnetic tape wound therearound within a cartridge case. The cartridge case is constructed by an upper case and a lower case. The cartridge case has a tape extraction opening in a side wall thereof. The upper case and the lower case are fixed by welding at an abutment surface P, where the upper case and the lower case abut each other. In addition, vertically extending ribs that alternately extend up and down beyond the abutment surface P are provided on the inner surfaces of the side walls of the upper case and the lower case in the vicinity of the opening. By this construction, the strength of the cartridge case in the vicinity of the opening is improved, thereby preventing damage thereto even when the magnetic tape cartridge is dropped or the like.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2003Date of Patent: February 7, 2006Assignee: Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.Inventors: Akihiko Fujii, Seiji Tsuyuki
