Abstract
A tape cassette comprises a cassette case comprising a main cassette body having a front opening at the front thereof and a lid rotatably mounted on the main cassette body for normally covering the front opening, and a sliding body slidably provided within the main cassette body so that a part of the sliding body is extractable through the front opening for supporting a pair of tape rolls of a magnetic tape. The sliding body comprises guide parts for guiding the magnetic tape between the pair of tape rolls along the front of the sliding body and a cutout part through which the magnetic tape along the front of the sliding body traverses. When the tape cassette is not in use the sliding body is completely accommodated within the main cassette body and the cutout part is covered by a bottom plate of the main cassette body. When the tape cassette is in use and is loaded into a magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus the lid opens and a part of the sliding body is extracted through the front opening so that the cutout part is exposed outside the main cassette body to permit tape draw-out members of the apparatus to enter into the cutout part.
