STORAGE CASE FOR TAPE CARTRIDGE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a storage case for a tape cartridge capable of surely restraining chattering of a tape reel and reducing damage to a restraint boss for restraining its chattering. SOLUTION: The storage case 1 stores the tape cartridge 9 in which an opening 23 of a reel hub 25 of the reel tape 12 and a circular projection 33 projecting to the lower surface 12a of the tape reel 12 are faced to a driving shaft insertion hole 32. The restraint boss 13 is projected to a bottom surface 2a of a storage body 2 of the storage case 1. The restraint boss 13 has a shaft body 35 extending upwardly from the bottom surface 2a of the storage body 2, and a base projected along a base end of the shaft body 35. The shaft body 35 of the restraint boss 13 comes into the reel hub 25 through the driving shaft insertion hole 32 of the tape cartridge 9, and the base 36 is located at the inside of the circular projection 33 of the tape cartridge 9. A gap dimension L1 between the base 36 of the restraint boss 13 and the circular projection 33 of the tape cartridge 9 is smaller than the gap dimension L2 between the shaft body 35 of the restraint boss 13 and the reel hub 25 of the tape cartridge 9.
