Abstract: An automatically openable tape cartridge having an integrally formed snap latch. One end of the tape within the cartridge is secured to the free end of a closable lid. Upon displacing a longitudinal wall of the cartridge adjacent the free end, camming action causes the lid to snap open pulling the tape out. Mating cam surfaces on the displaced longitudinal wall and the free end of the lid forces the lid open. On the end walls of the cartridge are two inwardly opening grooves or latch-receiving means. These receive latching scallops on the ends of the lid. The scallops ride over the cartridge end walls. The cartridge contains a spool having axially movable flanges for facilitating automatic handling of the cartridge and the contained magnetic tape.

Abstract: A tubular tool simultaneously unlatches a tubular cover from a contained spool of tape and holds the spool for winding and reeling operations. The tool operates on an annular latch securing the tubular cover to the spool core. The tool has an annular cam plus a set of coaxial circularly disposed resilient fingers extending beyond the cam. The cam and fingers are constructed to interact with the annular latch and spool ring inducing unlatching forces.

Abstract: In a cartridge comprised of a base member including a hub for receiving a wound web and a shell cover to generally enclose the winding surface of the hub, the shell cover has been modified to prevent unintentional disengagement of the shell from the base. The base member and shell each carry a portion of a locking mechanism which enables them to be releasably locked together in a hub enclosing relationship. The locking mechanism normally requires a separate tool to disengage it when separation of the base and shell is desired. This invention concerns modification of the cartridge and shell which prevents unintentional disengagement of the base and shell due to kinetic shocks, such as dropping on a hard surface.

Abstract: TH980031 SINGLE REEL TAPE CARTRIDGE WITH LEADER BLOCK DOOR SEAL A magnetic tape cartridge is disclosed in which a length of magnetic tape is wound on a single reel with the free end of the tape permanently connected to a generally rectangular-shaped leader block. The cartridge completely surrounds the reel of magnetic tape except for an opening provided at one corner of the cartridge. This opening permits tape wound on the reel to be unwound as the leader block is moved away from the cartridge, preferably by an automatic threading mechanism. The cartridge is characterized by one corner of the cartridge through which the tape passes being provided with a leader block receiving well in which the bottom of the well surface defines the opening in the cartridge through which the tape moves. Other opposed surfaces of the leader block well are arranged to engage the leading and trailing surfaces of the leader block in a clamping relationship such that the opening in the cartridge is substantially sealed by the leader block to prevent contamination from entering the cartridge when the cartridge is not in use.

Abstract: 1416070 Web-containing cartridge assembly INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 23 Nov 1973 [27 Dec 1972] 816/75 Divided out of 1416069 Heading B8M A web-containing cartridge assembly includes a reel 28 with a hollow hub 44 and single flange 46 with a releasable open-ended cover 26 disposed over the reel to enclose a web 54 wound on the reel, the cover 26 being releasable from the reel only by a separate release tool 74 whereby to guard against inadvertent release. The reel has releasable fingers 52 with cam follower surfaces 62 to be engaged by the release tool 74 which comprises an annular cam surface 76. The surfaces 62 preferably lie on a surface of revolution about the hub axis and are preferably also curved in a plane through the hub axis; the cam surface 76 on the release tool is preferably similarly formed. In a further embodiment, the tool 74 includes resilient fingers which extend into the hub to engage a surface irregularity on the internal surface of the reel to releasably grip the reel. The hub and cover construction forms the subject of Specification 1,416,069, and is used in the same way as in that application. (For Figures see next column.)

Abstract: A tape spool and cover are latched together by a tubular sleeve arrangement. A hollow core tape spool has an inner frustro-conical camming surface adjacent an axially outwardly facing shoulder. A releasable latch includes a unitary resilient sleeve inserted into the hollow core and is cammed radially inwardly for creating radial outward forces on the opposite sleeve end outside the spool. A first axial end portion of the sleeve has a first type locking resilient finger extending out of the hollow core and a second type resilient finger in locking engagement with the hollow core tape spool. A radially inwardly extending annular rib divides the first and second axial end portions to provide a bending moment transfer ring. The slots defining the axially extending fingers extend to and preferably into the rib for providing a moment bridge for transferring the radial inward compression on the second axial end portion to a radially outwardly exerting force in the first axial end portion. It is preferred that such slots terminate on or near a common circumferential line extending around the sleeve. The outer end portion of the first type of fingers includes a latching shoulder, plus a camming surface for enabling radial inward camming all first type fingers for enabling releasable engagement between the tape spool and a cylindrical cover.
