Abstract: Cartridge having a housing which includes a lower cartridge part and an upper cartridge part. The lower cartridge part and the upper cartridge part are connected together. Each of the lower cartridge part and the upper cartridge part include side walls and a recess which is adapted to receive a tape guiding pin. A reel is rotatably mounted in the housing. A tape guiding pin clasp fixes the tape guiding pin in the recesses of the lower cartridge part and the upper cartridge part. The tape guiding pin is located in a region of a tape exit opening that is located in a corner of the housing. The tape exit opening is adapted to be closed by a sliding door. The tape guiding pin clasp includes a mechanism that secures at least one side wall of the lower cartridge part to at least one side wall of the upper cartridge part. The tape guiding pin clasp engages with and secures together the at least one side wall of the lower cartridge part and the at least one side wall of the upper cartridge part.

Abstract: Magnetic-tape cartridge includes a substantially rectangular housing. At least one tape reel is rotatably mounted in the housing. The at least one tape reel is configured to receive wound magnetic tape. A first part is axially movably mounted in a center of the at least one tape reel. A second part is non-rotatably mounted and axially movably mounted to a housing wall of the cartridge via a spring.
