Data storage tape cartridge with a compliant guide

A data storage tape cartridge ( 10 ) includes two tape guides ( 23, 24 ). The tapes guides ( 23, 24 ) have a foil ( 43, 143, 243 ) which is constructed from material which causes a wear pattern ( 200 ) to be formed in the foil ( 43 ), thereby removing localized forces and spreading out the forces an...

Zusammenfassung:A data storage tape cartridge ( 10 ) includes two tape guides ( 23, 24 ). The tapes guides ( 23, 24 ) have a foil ( 43, 143, 243 ) which is constructed from material which causes a wear pattern ( 200 ) to be formed in the foil ( 43 ), thereby removing localized forces and spreading out the forces and thereby decreasing the tape pressure.
