Title: Pressure pad support for a cassette

Abstract: A magnetic tape cassette for two pressure pads, has a single rigid bar-shaped support spring loaded in the direction of openings in a side surface, for pressing the tape against scanning elements. The support has two pairs of coaxial projections disposed adjacent each other in its longitudinal direction, and spaced from each other, which projections engage with play with corresponding guide slots which essentially extend perpendicularly to the side surface with the cut-outs, to render the support pivotable and moveable, the ends of the guide slots near the side surface with the cut-outs constituting the stops for the support.
