Abstract

A tape cassette pressure flap and pressure flap/cassette housing assembly and related methods for manufacturing the pressure flap and for assembling the pressure flap in the cassette housing. The pressure flap is generally flat and made of a flexible material. The flap has a first free end with a low coefficient of friction for normally urging a tape portion into contact with a guide member of the cassette housing so as to minimize slackness of the tape, and a second end for being fixedly attached to the cassette housing. At least one angled rectangular flange is formed at the fixed end. The fixed end is then inserted between at least one wall and a columnar support member formed in the cassette housing such that the pressure flap cannot be pushed out of position relative to the tape upon which it resiliently abuts. The at least one angled flange formed in the fixed end of the pressure flap abuts a columnar supporting member. This pressure flap and pressure flap/cassette housing assembly eliminates slackness and the disadvantages of the prior art adhesive-type and non-adhesive-type pressure flaps. Moreover, it provides a more efficient manufacturing process and inserting procedure and increased efficiency during automated insertion of the pressure flap into the cassette housing.
