Abstract
There is provided a tape guiding member including: a hub around which a recording tape is wound or is trained; a flange main body that is provided at the hub, and that restricts a position in a transverse direction of the recording tape; a tape contacting layer that is formed in a shape of a sheet of a material that is different from a material that structures the flange main body, and that is superposed on a surface, at the recording tape side, of the flange main body; and a holding portion that is provided at the flange main body, and covers an outer peripheral edge portion of the tape contacting layer from the recording tape side, and holds the tape contacting layer at the flange main body.
Claims17
A tape guiding member comprising:
- a hub around which a recording tape is wound or is trained;
- a flange main body that holds the recording tape at upper and lower edges of the recording tape, that restricts a position in a transverse direction of the recording tape, and that comprises an inner peripheral edge portion and an outer peripheral edge portion, the flange main body contacting the hub at the inner peripheral edge portion;
- a tape contacting layer that is formed in a shape of a sheet of a material that is different from a material that structures the flange main body, and that is superposed on a surface, which contacts with the recording tape, of the flange main body, the tape contacting layer extending along a radial direction of the flange main body from the inner peripheral edge portion to the outer peripheral edge portion of the flange main body such that an in-plane direction of the tape contacting layer conforms to an in-plane direction of an upper reel flange or a lower reel flange;
- and
- a holding portion that is provided at the outer peripheral edge portion of the flange main body, and covers an outer peripheral edge portion of the tape contacting layer, and holds the tape contacting layer at the flange main body.

- and
- a fixing portion that is provided at the flange main body, and that fixes the tape contacting layer to the flange main body by entering into through-holes that pass-through the tape contacting layer in a thickness direction.
