Abstract
A recording medium containing cartridge comprises a first casing shell having a recess formed proximate a side wall thereof and a second casing shell matingly fitting with the first casing shell. The second casing shell has a projection formed at a location corresponding to the recess formed in the first casing shell. A dimension of a distal surface of the projection contacting a bottom of the recess is made less than a corresponding dimension of the bottom of the recess. This leaves a gap that safely accommodates a burr formed during a welding process that joins the casing shells together. First and second reels are rotatably mounted between the first and second casing shells and tape is wound therebetween.
