LATCHING MECHANISM FOR A TAPE CARRIER Abstract of the Disclosure A device of relatively simple construction for holding and latching a tape cartridge (or the like) is disclosed. The device comprises two spaced apart guide rails, one on each side of a recess for accepting a tape cartridge, whereby the guide rails serve to mate with corresponding grooves in the tape cartridge for receiving and guiding the cartridge into position. Two resilient biasing members are positioned adjacent the guide rails, in a one-to-one relationship, for acting against a common face of the cartridge to bias the cartridge against the guide rails. Each biasing member includes a projection for engaging a corresponding notch in the cartridge so as to inhibit the removal of the cartridge. The biasing members are constructed such that an appropriate movement of the cartridge results in the projections disengaging from the notches and allowing the cartridge to be removed (i.e. a separate release mechanism is not required). - i -
