Abstract
Abstract In an apparatus in which there is provided a driving pulley around a rotatable shaft which constructs a driven member in a manner freely rotatable with an external force so that the rotational force of the driving pulley is transmitted to the driven member due to the friction, a friction transmitting apparatus characterized in that there are further provided a magnetized member mounted on the driving pulley and a magnet mounted around the driven rotatable shaft so that the magnet attracts the magnetized member to thereby transmit the rotational force of the driving pulley to the driven member.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
179 words
A force transmitting apparatus for use in a magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus, which comprises: a rotatable reel shaft provided in the magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus, said reel shaft having a reel-driving hub mounted on one end thereof; an annular driving pulley coaxially mounted on said reel shaft for rotation with respect thereto, said driving pulley having a coaxial, annular, flat, axial end face facing toward said one end of said reel shaft; a coaxial, annular, magnetically attractable, flat disc affixed to said axial end face of said driving pulley for rotation therewith; a coaxial, annular, flat magnet affixed to said reel shaft and located between said reel-driving hub and said pulley, said magnet being disposed in coaxial, opposed relationship to said disc so that said disc is attracted to said magnet whereby said driving pulley is magnetically held in driving engagement with said magnet and thereby with said reel shaft; and a detector for detecting rotation of said magnet, said detector being disposed between said reel-driving hub and said pulley at a location radially outwardly from the periphery of said magnet.
