Abstract
Tape partially curves around a one-way tape brake for a cassette. The brake has a cylindrical roller with a side extension. When the tape advances, a smooth cylindrical side of the roller allows tape forward movement. When the tape tends to reverse the tape pulls a friction surface rearward, turning the roller and frictionally engaging the tape and pinching it against a tape guide. Rearward tape motion is prevented.
