- a closing member fixed to a distal end of the recording tape, and for being pulled-out by a pull-out mechanism of a drive device, and for being able to close the opening;
- a first supporting member for supporting the closing member from a direction of thickness of the case and disposed at an inner surface of one of the upper case and the lower case;
- and
- a second supporting member for supporting the closing member from a direction orthogonal to the direction of thickness of the case, and disposed at the one of the upper case and the lower case at which the first supporting member is disposed.
A container comprising:
- a case formed from an upper case and a lower case, and including an opening;
- and
- a plurality of supporting members provided at a plurality of places at an inner surface of one of the upper case and the lower case, and supporting a closing member which can be attached to and removed from the opening and which closes the opening in a state in which at least a portion of the closing member is accommodated within the opening.
