Abstract
A magnetic-tape cassette includes a reel locking device having tow levers each having one tooth. The levers further comprise actuating members which can be pushed away by a release pin provided on a drive spindle of an apparatus, so that the levers are movable between a locking position, in which the teeth are in engagement with a toothed surface provided in the magnetic-tape cassette, and a released position, in which the teeth are not in engagement with the toothed surface. The teeth are then movable in a direction substantially parallel to the main walls of the magnetic-tape cassette.
