Abstract
A brake mechanism for a pair of reels of a tape cassette includes a base member slidable in a guideway in a direction extending between the pair of reels. A pair of stopper members or arms are hinged on the base member and extend away therefrom for engaging teeth on flanges of the reels. The base block includes a spring hold pin to which is anchored a spring which urges the stopper members towards the teeth to lock the reels in position.
