Abstract

A magnetic tape cassette which solves the problem of deformation of a guide groove due to a sink mark formed when the neighboring portions of a shaft insertion opening are reduced in thickness to reduce the weight of the cassette case. A tongue-shaped projection is formed adjacent to a central guide groove, the projection including a recessed portion, such as a circular recess or a lateral notch, for reducing the thickness of the projection.
