Abstract
In a cassette (1) comprising a pressure-member support (58) arranged adjacent a side wail (8) to hold an elastic pressure member (56) by means of which a magnetic tape (2) can be pressed against a magnetic head which can be introduced into the cassette (1), and comprising a tape-guide-element support (69) arranged between the side wail (8) and the pressure-member support (58) and having two tape-guide elements (67, 68) arranged mirror-symmetrically relative to the pressure member (56), the pressure-member support (58) comprises two stepped portions (79, 80) such that its central portion (57) is offset relative to its two side portions (59, 60) towards the tape-guide-element support (69) adjacent the pressure-member support (58), and the central portion (57) of the pressure-member support (58) is supported on the tape-guide-element support (69) under the influence of a pretension.
