Abstract
A reel presser for pressing a reel within a cassette casing which has an upper half and a lower half comprises a holder which abuts the reel and a cap engaged with the holder. The holder and the cap are arranged on opposite sides of the upper half, and a spring is provided between the upper half and the holder. When a tape cassette containing the reel presser is loaded in a cassette mounting device, a reel pressing member provided in the cassette mounting device depresses a continuous surface disposed at the top of the cap so as to depress the reel toward the lower half of the cassette casing.
