  • Patent number: 4961124
    Abstract: An improved magnetic tape cassette with locking elements for the magnetic tape, through which the opening formed in the front side of the cassette as well as the cut out regions of the winding shaft entry openings are effectively sealed, is characterized in that the slide (15) adjacent to the cassette underside (5) possesses at least two locking catches (21), which move in the grooves (22) of the cassette lower part and which are positioned so that they engage with the toothed rings of the winding hubs (6a,6b) when the slide is in its locked state. Additionally, the slide comprises in the center of its front part a catch, which dips into a groove (25), open forwards as well as downwards, on the outside of the cassette lower part. Through the construction according to the invention, the otherwise customary reel brake together with the prestressing spring becomes superfluous (FIG. 3).

  • Patent number: 4916565
    Abstract: A magnetic tape cassette, in which the activation of the front flap (11) and of the slide (15) is coupled by cassette-side means, contains a side part (12) of the front flap provided with a recess (20) in which a guide peg (18), which rests in the sidewall (16) of the slide, engages with the recess and thus couples the swivelling movement of the front flap with the sliding movement of the slide. In another embodiment, the side wall (12) of the front flap (11) contains a guide peg (22) which engages with a recess (21) provided in a side wall (16'') of the slide (15) (FIG. 3, FIG. 5).

  • Patent number: 4884158
    Abstract: A magnetic tape cassette, particularly a video tape cassette which is provided with a hinged front panel prestressed by a tension spring, the coil of which is positioned on an axle on the inside of the side wall of the front panel. The free end of the long spring leg grips beneath the front of an upper housing half of the cassette, which constrains the long spring leg. A lower housing half has a hinged locking plate on the inside, in the area of the front panel. The locking plate has a obliquely extending projection projecting over the plate, which projection being eccentric to the center of rotation of the plate has a surface off set from the axis of rotation of said hinged locking plate, and on the surface of oblique projection the long spring leg stressed between the upper housing half and the projection of the plate to produce a moment of force on the plate tending to swing the plate on the axis of rotation.

  • Patent number: 4623105
    Abstract: A video cassette with two reels which are arranged in plane-parallel fashion for winding and unwinding a magnetic tape and with a locking mechanism consisting of a pivotal two-armed pawl for each reel which can be slipped on a support. One lever arm engages in a toothed reel flange in the inoperative position of the cassette and the other lever arm rests on the disengaging component of a vertically rotatable release lever. The locking mechanism also includes moulded pre-tensioning arms, the deflection points of the pre-tensioning arms rigid with the housing at the support lie close to the rotational axis of the pawl.

  • Patent number: 4473198
    Abstract: This invention relates to a spool for video cassettes comprising at least one flange which is raised from or deposited onto the base of the cassette against the force of a spring. The spool has a hollow-cylindrical projection (11) which is open to the outside, in the center of the top of the spool hub, in which projection (11) a spherical body (12) of abrasion-proof plastics material is clamped, for example, polyoxymethylene. The spherical cap protruding from the projection protrudes beyond other pins (10) which are optionally moulded on the surface. The spool itself is made of a different, plastics material of less hardness compared with that of the spherical body.
