BRAKING MECHANISM FOR CASSETTE TAPE REEL Abstract The length of tape that can be wound into a videotape cassette (10) such as Betamax or VHS can be increased by modifying the cassette (10) to employ the braking mechanism (22, 32) of the invention. This involves a flanged reel (16, 18) in which teeth (36, 38) are formed only in the outer face (16A, 18A) of one flange, and a brake lever (26, 28) which has a finger (26A, 28A) formed with a tooth-engaging ramp (26B, 28B) that is inclined at 30-60° to the inner face of said flange (16A, 18A) when the finger (26A, 28A) fits between adjacent teeth (36, 38).
