Each lock portion (15) has a front portion (23) including an anchoring
pawl (24) and a back portion (25) extending in a direction opposite to
the front portion. Therefore, when a slider (14) withdraws, each back
portion comes into contact with the inside surface of a back wall (10) of
a cassette shell (4) and each lock portion rotates in an unlocking
direction. A bottom surface (109) defining each recess between engaging
teeth (107) has a central portion which protrudes in a chevron shape. A
corner of each protrusion has tapered surfaces (110') and (110''). An
anchoring pawl of each lock portion has a flat surface that comes into
contact with one inclined surface (109') of a chevron-shaped portion of
any one of the recesses and one tapered surface (110') of a protrusion
disposed behind the adjacent recess.
