Abstract
Magnetic-tape cartridge includes a substantially rectangular housing. At least one tape reel is rotatably mounted in the housing. The at least one tape reel is configured to receive wound magnetic tape. A first part is axially movably mounted in a center of the at least one tape reel. A second part is non-rotatably mounted and axially movably mounted to a housing wall of the cartridge via a spring. The first part is movable between a resting position and an operating position in which the first part moves the second part against the biasing force of the spring. The second part is movable between a first position, thereby preventing the at least one tape reel from rotating, to a second position thereby allowing rotation of the at least one tape reel
