Magnetic tape cartridge
View Patent ↗A magnetic tape cartridge is provided including a case which is formed by an upper half and a lower half which are combined together, a reel to which a magnetic tape is wound, being rotatably contained in the case, a labeling side which is provided in an outer surface of the case, and a security tag which an external detector can detect, in which the security tag is arranged behind the labeling side so as to face obliquely upward.
1. A magnetic tape cartridge comprising:
a case which is formed by an upper half and a lower half which are combined together;
a first reel to which a magnetic tape is wound, being rotatably contained in the case;
a second reel which takes up the magnetic tape sent from the first reel, being rotatably contained in the case;
a first rib which protrudes from each of the upper half and the lower half along a periphery of the first reel inside the case;
a second rib which protrudes from each of the upper half and the lower half along a periphery of the second reel inside the case;
a security tag which an external detector can detect; and
an installation rib which is formed in at least one of the first rib and the second rib which protrude from the lower case, in order to hold the security tag,
wherein the security tag is disposed on and separately from an inner surface of the lower half, and a center of the security tag is position in the upper half.
2. A magnetic tape cartridge as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
the security tag is held in the installation rib in such a manner that an upper surface of the security tag faces the upper half.
3. A magnetic tape cartridge as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
the security tag is held in the installation rib in such a manner that an upper surface of the security tag faces the upper half as well as a labeling side which is provided in a peripheral side of the case.
4. A magnetic tape cartridge as claimed in claim 2 , wherein
the security tag is held in the installation rib in such a manner that a crossing angle between the upper surface of the security tag and a bottom surface of the installation rib is 45 degrees.
5. A magnetic tape cartridge as claimed in claim 3 , wherein
the security tag is held in the installation rib in such a manner that a crossing angle between the upper surface of the security tag and a bottom surface of the installation rib is 45 degrees.
6. A magnetic tape cartridge as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
the security tag comprises on an upper surface thereof a transmitter-receiver which receives a detection signal sent from the external detector and transmits a response signal corresponding to the detection signal.
7. A magnetic tape cartridge as claimed in claim 2 , wherein
the security tag comprises on an upper surface thereof a transmitter-receiver which receives a detection signal sent from the external detector and transmits a response signal corresponding to the detection signal.
8. A magnetic tape cartridge as claimed in claim 3 , wherein
the security tag comprises on the upper surface thereof a transmitter-receiver which receives a detection signal sent from the external detector and transmits a response signal corresponding to the detection signal.
9. A magnetic tape cartridge as claimed in claim 4 , wherein
the security tag comprises on the upper surface thereof a transmitter-receiver which receives a detection signal sent from the external detector and transmits a response signal corresponding to the detection signal.
10. A magnetic tape cartridge as claimed in claim 5 , wherein
the security tag comprises on an upper surface thereof a transmitter-receiver which receives a detection signal sent from the external detector and transmits a response signal corresponding to the detection signal.
11. A magnetic tape cartridge comprising:
a case which is formed by an upper half and a lower half which are combined together;
a reel to which a magnetic tape is wound, being rotatably contained in the case;
a plurality of ribs which protrude from the upper half and the lower half respectively along a periphery of the reel inside the case;
a security tag which an external detector can detect; and
an installation rib which is formed in the rib which protrudes from the lower case, in order to hold the security tag,
wherein the security tag is disposed separately from an inner surface of the lower half, and a center of the security tag is positioned in the upper half.
12. A magnetic tape cartridge as claimed in claim 11 , wherein
the security tag is held in the installation rib in such a manner that an upper surface of the security tag faces the upper half.
13. A magnetic tape cartridge as claimed in claim 11 , wherein
the security tag is held in the installation rib in such a manner that an upper surface of the security tag faces the upper half as well as a labeling side which is provided in a peripheral side of the case.
14. A magnetic tape cartridge as claimed in claim 13 , wherein
the security tag is held in the installation rib in such a manner that a crossing angle between the upper surface of the security tag and a bottom surface of the installation rib is 45 degrees.
15. A magnetic tape cartridge as claimed in claim 12 , wherein
the security tag comprises on the upper surface thereof a transmitter-receiver which receives a detection signal sent from the external detector and transmits a response signal corresponding to the detection signal.
16. A magnetic tape cartridge as claimed in claim 14 , wherein
the security tag comprises on the upper surface thereof a transmitter-receiver which receives a detection signal sent from the external detector and transmits a response signal corresponding to the detection signal.
17. A magnetic tape cartridge as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the installation rib is disposed along an outside wall of one of the first rib and the second rib.
18. A magnetic tape cartridge as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the installation rib is disposed along an outside wall of the rib protruding from the lower half.
