Abstract
In a magnetic tape cassette comprising a cassette housing, a lid pivotally connected to the front of the housing to open and close its front opening, and a lock member fitted in one front side portion of the housing and engageable with and disengageable from the inner surface of the lid, a lock-member-biasing spring is accommodated within the thickness of the lock member, with a free end engaged with the housing. The lock member has means with which to press the both end portions of the spring in place. It has also a bulge formed on its side opposite to the recessed side and which is larger in diameter than a pivot by which the lock member is supported by the housing. The bulge is accommodated within a wall opening of the cassette housing.
