Abstract
A step portion is provided in a bottom surface of a concave portion of an upper case of the magnetic tape cartridge, at a rear end side in a loading direction of the magnetic tape cartridge. By providing the step portion at the concave portion of the upper case in this way, it is possible to increase a surface area of planar-contact between a side wall of the concave portion and a planarly-contacting portion of a claw portion of an upper hand portion forming a robot hand. Thus, when the magnetic tape cartridge is to be nipped, it is easy for the claw portion to catch thereon. Even if a top surface of the upper case swells slightly due to a spring provided within a case, the claw portion can reliably catch on the side wall of the concave portion.
Claims7
A recording medium cartridge in which a concave portion, to which a label can be affixed, is formed in a top surface of a case,
- wherein at least one step portion is formed in a recessed manner at a rear end side, in a loading direction of the case, of the concave portion.
A recording medium cartridge in which a concave portion, to which a label can be affixed, is formed in a top surface of a case which rotatably accommodates a reel on which a recording tape is wound,
- wherein a step portion, which extends in a direction orthogonal to a loading direction of the case, is formed in a recessed manner at a rear end side, in the loading direction of the case, of the concave portion.
