Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent damage due to contact of a magnetic tape with other component by rotating a tape protector integrated with a tape protector arm by a pressing force generated by the collision with an angle mounted at a stationary guide by an operation at the time of loading a tape cassette. CONSTITUTION:A tape protector arm 8 is mounted rotatably in a direction A at a reinforcing plate 4 mounted at a cassette holder 2 so as to reinforce the holder 2 integrated with a tape protector 5. A tape protector arm 3 integrated with the protector 5 is collided with an angle 8 mounted at a stationary guide 9 disposed on a magnetic recorder/reproducer chassis 7 by an operation at the time of mounting the cassette of a cassette loading unit, and rotated in the direction A by the pressing force at that time. Thus, a magnetic tape can be effectively mounted at a predetermined position without damage due to contact of the tape with other component in the recorder/reproducer.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention provides a magnetic recording and reproducing device in which a magnetic tape comes into contact with other parts at a predetermined position within the magnetic recording and reproducing device, so that the device can be operated without being damaged. Regarding tape protector mechanism.

(Summary of the Invention) The present invention relates to a tape protector that attaches a magnetic tape to a predetermined position in a magnetic recording/reproducing device, a reinforcing plate attached to reinforce a cassette holder, and a tape loading operation of a cassette loading device. a tape protector mechanism comprising an angle attached to the magnetic recording/reproducing device to prevent the tape protector arm from rotating in a direction perpendicular to the magnetic recording/reproducing device; By integrating the tape protector arm and the tape protector arm, and rotating the tape protector and the tape protector arm in conjunction with the loading operation of the cassette loading device, the tape protector and the tape protector arm are rotated in conjunction with the loading operation of the cassette loading device, thereby reliably preventing damage to the magnetic tape in the magnetic recording and reproducing device. It is characterized by being attached to a predetermined position.

(Conventional technology) Conventionally, there was no tape protector mechanism,
A tape guide, which functions to guide the magnetic tape to a predetermined position, was fixedly attached to the cabinet. However, there was no function to prevent the magnetic tape from being damaged due to repeated contact with parts within the magnetic recording/reproducing device.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Therefore, in the conventional example, there was a drawback that the magnetic tape came into contact with parts in the magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus and was damaged due to contact.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention includes a tape protector arm rotatably attached to a reinforcing plate attached to reinforce a cassette holding part of a cassette loading device in a vertical direction of a magnetic recording/reproducing device; A tape protector is integrated to attach the magnetic tape to a predetermined position in the magnetic recording/reproducing device, and the cassette loading device collides with an angle attached to a fixed guide in the magnetic recording/reproducing device when a tape cassette is loaded. The resulting pressing force rotates the tape protector integrated with the tape protector arm.

(Function) According to the present invention, by interlocking the tape cassette loading operation of the cassette loading device, the magnetic tape is securely loaded in a predetermined position without being damaged by contact with other parts in the magnetic recording/reproducing device. can.

(Example) Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

Figure 1 [Bl] and Figure 1 [C1] indicate that in this embodiment, the tape cassette 1 is the tape cassette L
This figure shows a series of cassette loading operations of the cassette loading device, in which the cassette holder 2 holds the tape cassette foot 1 and mounts it at a predetermined position in the magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus.

FIG. 1 shows a state in which a tape cassette 1 is attached to a cassette holder 2. As shown in FIG. The tape protector arm 8 is integrated with the tape protector 5 and the skein foot holding section 2
t- attached to the reinforcing plate 4 attached to the cassette holding part 2 for reinforcement so as to be rotatable with respect to the entry direction;
When the cassette is loaded by the cassette loading device, it is attached to a fixed guide 9 on the chassis 7 of the magnetic recording/reproducing device and collides with the T-angle 8, and is rotated in the input direction by the pressing force at that time. In the state shown in FIG. 1, the tape protector 5 is in contact with the magnetic tape 6 in the tape cassette 1.

Figure 1 β) shows that during the mounting operation of the cassette loading device, the tape protector arm a comes into contact with the angle 8 attached to the fixed guide 9 on the magnetic recording device chassis 7, and due to the pressing force. It shows a state in which it is about to rotate in the inward direction. In this state, the tape protector 5 is located between the drum 10 and the magnetic tape 6 in the tape cassette 1, and the magnetic tape 6 is
The magnetic tape 6 functions to guide the magnetic tape 6 so that it does not come in contact with the magnetic tape 6 and be damaged.

FIG. 1 FCI shows a state in which the cassette loading operation of the cassette loading device has been completed. The tape protector 5 and the tape protector arm 8 have also completed their rotation in the input direction, and are in the state shown in Figure 1 (C1) so that they do not interfere with the loading operation for winding the magnetic tape 6 around the drum 9. There is.

In addition, the spring 11 generates a moment with respect to the tape protector arm center 12 due to the restoring force, and the tape protector arm 8 collides with the angle 8 attached to the fixed guide 9 on the chassis 7 during the attachment/detachment operation of the cassette loading device. The pressing force caused by the tape protector 5 and the tape protector arm 8 are returned to the state shown in FIG. 1 by rotating in the B direction. It is installed like this.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, the magnetic tape can be reliably mounted in a predetermined position without being damaged due to contact with other parts in the magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus. Therefore, even if the cassette is loaded with the magnetic tape slack, it can be loaded without damage. Since it is a mechanism that integrates the tape protector and tape protector arm, the number of parts can be reduced.
