Cassette tape recorder

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To eliminate a loading exclusive motor to realize a compact structure of a cassette tape recorder, by giving reciprocating motion to a cassette pull- in/loading mechanism by means of the forward/reverse driving of a capstan driving motor. CONSTITUTION:A cassette 1 is automatically pulled in and loaded into a cassette holder 2 with an automatic ejecting operation through mechanical actions by means of a cassette pull-in/loading mechanism 33, the forward/reverse driving of a capstan motor 11 and a gear 47 fitted with a cam groove. The forward/ reverse revolution of the motor 11 is controlled by turning on and off a cassette detection switch 43, and at the same time both soft loading and ejection are possible just with the forward/reverse driving of the motor 11. For instance, if a detection switch 13 is turned on with insertion of a cassette, the motor 11 is revolved forward. Then either one of capstans 4 and 5 is revolved, and at the same time the gear 47 is driven to drive a pull-in action lever 35. Then a cassette pull-in member 25 is forcibly moved back by a pull-in lever 34. Thus the cassette 1 is pulled in automatically up to the prescribed position by an interlocking part 28 of the member 25.
