Abstract

A magnetic tape cartridge includes a cartridge casing and a single reel which is contained in the cartridge casing for rotation. A brake component including a brake member is provided with a brake gear and is movable up and down between an operative position where the brake gear prevents rotation of the reel and a retracted position where the brake gear permits rotation of the reel. An urging component is used to urge the brake member toward the operative position. The urging component acts on an outer periphery of the brake member.
