Abstract: A magnetic tape cartridge of the present invention can restrain uneven winding of a magnetic tape. The magnetic tape can be restrained, and the magnetic tape cartridge of this invention comprises a cartridge case, a reel, housed inside this cartridge case and around which a magnetic tape is wound, and a tape guide, disposed alongside the abovementioned reel guiding the abovementioned magnetic tape so as to separate magnetic tape once from the magnetic tape wound around reel, and guiding the abovementioned separated magnetic tape so that it contacts again the outer peripheral surface of the wound magnetic tape, wherein the magnetic tape that contacts the outer peripheral surface of the wound magnetic tape is restrained in vibration in the tape width direction.

Abstract: A cassette casing for a magnetic tape cassette has a casing body and a slider member mounted for sliding motion between a closed position and an open position. The slider member has a pair of guide grooves formed on the outer surface thereof remote from the casing body and extending from a first end of the cassette casing toward the other end, each of the guide grooves having first and second engaging holes which are formed on the bottom of the guide groove to extend through the slider member and open to the inner surface of the same and are spaced from each other in the longitudinal direction of the guide groove. The casing body is provided with a pair of locking projections each of which is resiliently urged toward one of the guide grooves from the inner surface of the slider member and is adapted to be selectively engaged with the first and second engaging holes so that its tip portion projects into the guide groove.
