cassette

Abstract

The present invention provides a cassette that can be miniaturized in an orthogonal direction perpendicular to the vertical direction. [Solution] The ribbon case 21 comprises a first side wall 16a extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, a second side wall 16b extending in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and intersecting the second direction, and a recessed wall 16c extending from the second side wall 16b in one direction of the second direction and extending in the third direction in one direction of the second direction than the second side wall 16b, defining a recess 99, wherein at least a portion of the recess 99 overlaps with the printed tape roll 26 in the first direction. As a result, the tape case 20 with the printed tape roll 26 and the ribbon case 21 with the recessed wall 16c are stacked in the first direction, i.e., the vertical direction, and at least a portion of the recess 99 overlaps with the printed tape roll 26 in the first direction, so the cassette 10 is miniaturized in the orthogonal direction perpendicular to the vertical direction.
