Abstract
One of cassette shell halves has a cylindrical body protruding toward the other cassette shell half. The cylindrical body has a rivet press-fit hole and is constituted of elastic engagement pieces. The other cassette shell half has an opening for rivet insertion formed in an outer surface, and an engagement piece receiving hole, which communicates from the opening for rivet insertion to the inner surface of the other cassette shell half and has a tapered inner wall surface having the diameter increasing from an end, that stands facing the one cassette shell half, toward the opening for rivet insertion. When the elastic engagement pieces have been inserted into the engagement piece receiving hole, the elastic engagement pieces are brought into pressure contact with the tapered surface of the engagement piece receiving hole by a rivet, which is press-fitted through the opening for rivet insertion and into the rivet press-fit hole, and the cassette shell halves are thus temporarily assembled to each other.
