Abstract

Abstract The disclosed tape recorder serves for supplying a microphone output to a recording and reproducing head through an amplifier during recording by switching a recording and reproducing switch. A noise removing circuit at the output of said amplifier suppresses the output from the amplifier to the head a predetermined time during application of an electric power supply source of the amplifier.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 66 words
In a tape recorder which supplies an erasing current from an electric power supply source to an erasing head by switching a recording and reproducing switch at the time of recording, the improvement comprising a noise removing circuit at an input of said erasing head for momentarily suppressing and then increasing the erasing current to a predetermined value by switching on said electric power supply source.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 66 words
In a tape recorder which supplies an erasing current from an electric power supply source to an erasing head by switching a recording and reproducing switch at the time of recording, the improvement comprising a noise removing circuit at an input of said erasing head for momentarily suppressing and then increasing the erasing current to a predetermined value by switching on said electric power supply source.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 46 words
A tape recorder as claimed in claim 1, wherein said noise removing circuit comprises a capacitor arranged to be simultaneously charged by the input of said electric power supply source and a switching element arranged to become conductive in response to charging current of the capacitor.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 68 words
A device as in claim 1, wherein said recorder includes an erasing oscillator, wherein said noise removing current includes a transistor circuit connected directly to the output of the oscillator, said transistor circuit having a transistor with a control electrode and two other electrodes, an RC circuit forming a junction at the control electrode and a capacitor connected from the control electrode to one of the other electrodes.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 28 words
A device as in claim 3, wherein said other electrode is the collector of said transistor, and the transistor circuit is connected across the output of the oscillator.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 31 words
A device as in claim 3, wherein the other electrode is the emitter and said transistor is connected so that its emitter collector circuit is in series with the erasing head.
