Cassette transfer device for magnetic recorder/ reproducer

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To facilitate the transfer operation of the cassette by giving the control to the motor-driven loading and removal of the cassette via the switch which detects the necessary position of the cassette. CONSTITUTION:Cassette 2 is inserted into transfer component 32, and thus the tip of cassette 2 turns pawl 80 to secure the connection for cassette insertion end detection switch 88. Thus motor 54 has the forward turn to shift component 32 via gear 66 and rack 52, and pawl 16 of component 16 is fitted into aperture 4 of cassette 2. As a result, cassette 2 is transferred along with component 32. Then pin 50 of component 32 stops motor 54 via cassette loading end detection switch 90. At the ejection time of the cassette, motor 54 has the backward turn to shift the cassette to the ejection position via cassette ejection end detection switch 92. Thus the cassette is stopped, and the motor-driven control is given to the loading and removal of the cassette. Thus the loading, removal and transfer of the cassette can be given in a simple and assured way and without any malfunction.
