  • Publication number: 20110095452
    Abstract: A tape reel assembly comprises a reel hub and flanges coaxially secured to, and extending radially outwardly from, opposite axial ends of the reel hub, respectively, each flange being molded by resin injection molding and having a tapered inside surface sloping down at a fixed taper angle from an inside periphery to an outside periphery thereof. The flange is molded by the use of an injection mold having a mold surface which borders at least a part of a mold cavity for configuration of the tapered inside surface of the flange and is convexly curved to the mold cavity.

  • Patent number: 7815140
    Abstract: A magnetic tape cartridge containing a tape reel to which a magnetic tape with a leader pin attached to a leading end is wound is equipped with a leader pin retaining structure for safe and secure retention of the leader pin immediately behind a tape egress/ingress opening. The leader pin retaining structure comprises a retainer member having resilient arms and a leader pin support for supporting the retainer member so as to place tail end portions of the resilient arms across end collars of the leader pin received in sockets provided adjacent to the tape egress/ingress opening, wherein the leader pin support resiliently urges and bends the resilient arms so as to retain the end collars of the leader pin by the tail end portions of the resilient arms, respectively.

  • Patent number: 7780107
    Abstract: A recording tape cartridge includes a case that comprises an upper case and a lower case and houses a reel around which recording tape is wound. A regulating wall that defines an area in which the reel is housed is formed on the upper case and on the lower case. An attachment member is held between the regulating wall of the upper case and the regulating wall of the lower case so as to be disposed on an outer peripheral surface side of the regulating wall. The attachment member holds an RFID. There is provided a recording tape cartridge that can ensure an attachment region for an RFID inside a case.

  • Publication number: 20100065671
    Abstract: A recording tape cartridge is equipped with a reel around which is wound recording tape and an upper case and a lower case that house the reel. Ribs whose rib height gradually becomes lower from a center side of the reel toward an outer peripheral side of the reel are formed on an inner surface of the upper case. Edge portions that slant linearly from the center side of the reel toward the outer peripheral side of the reel are formed on the reel side of the ribs. The distance of the space inside the case in the thickness direction of the recording tape cartridge is wider on the outer peripheral side of the reel in comparison to the center side of the reel, so it is difficult for the recording tape inside the case to sustain damage even if the recording tape cartridge receives an impact.
