Abstract
Abstract A driving force branching gear mechanism, which is useful for a tape recorder provided with a rotary head, etc., is disclosed, in which a driving gear consisting of two great diameter cam gears fixed to each other in one body and two small diameter cam gears driven by the two great diameter cam gears, repsectively, are disposed and they are so arranged that each of the small diameter cam gears is driven, only when its gear section is in opposition to each of the great diameter cam gears and that its cut-off portion for fixation is located on the projecting portion of the cam section of each of the great diameter cam gears and fixed there, when the cam section of each of the small diameter cam gears is in opposition to the cut-off portion of the gear of each of the great diameter cam gears.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
147 words
A driving force branching gear mechanism, which drives two gear driving systems by means of a single driving motor, comprising: a. a driving motor, b. a driving gear rotated by said driving motor, provided with a first and a second great diameter cam gears, each of which consists of two layers, a cam section and a gear section, the gear section having a cut-off portion corresponding to a projecting portion of the cam section, and c. a first and a second small diameter cam gears, of which consists of two layers, a cam section and a gear section, linked with the cam section and the gear section, respectively, of the first and the second great diameter cam gears, respectively, each of the cam sections having a recess portion fixed by the projecting portion of the cam section of the first and the second great diameter cam gears.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
147 words
A driving force branching gear mechanism, which drives two gear driving systems by means of a single driving motor, comprising: a. a driving motor, b. a driving gear rotated by said driving motor, provided with a first and a second great diameter cam gears, each of which consists of two layers, a cam section and a gear section, the gear section having a cut-off portion corresponding to a projecting portion of the cam section, and c. a first and a second small diameter cam gears, of which consists of two layers, a cam section and a gear section, linked with the cam section and the gear section, respectively, of the first and the second great diameter cam gears, respectively, each of the cam sections having a recess portion fixed by the projecting portion of the cam section of the first and the second great diameter cam gears.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
78 words
A driving force branching gear mechanism according to claim 1, wherein it is used in a magnetic recording device using a rotary head and so constructed that said first small diameter cam gear drives a loading gear drawing-out a loading block and a pinch roller of said magnetic recording device and that said second small diameter cam gear drives a pinch roller driving cam plate thrusting the pinch roller and a mode controlling cam plate controlling the mode.
