Patent ID: 7320444

Claim:
A recording tape cartridge comprising: a case rotatably accommodating a single reel on which a recording tape is wound; a leader tape attached to an end portion of the recording tape, and disposed along a side wall of the case; an opening for pulling-out of the leader tape, the opening being formed at a corner portion of the case, which corner portion extends over respective portions of a front wall and the side wall of the case; a door, whose most thin-walled portion has a thickness of 0.6 mm or greater, and which opens and closes the opening by rotating around a supporting shaft provided at a front wall side; an allowing portion formed in the door so that a deepest surface thereof is formed in a circular-arc shape as seen in plan sectional view, the allowing portion allowing avoidance of contact between the door and a distal end surface of the leader tape when the door closes the opening; and a guide portion formed at the allowing portion, and abutting a distal end portion of the leader tape, which is further forward than a hole portion engaged by a pull-out member of a drive device, and formed to be thick-walled in a direction of making the distal end portion of the leader tape move away from the side wall, wherein, when the door closes the opening, a predetermined clearance is ensured between the distal end surface of the leader tape and the deepest surface of the allowing portion.
