Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention, for example, pulls out the above-mentioned copy tape from a pancake reel around which a blank tape or copy tape is wound, and mounts it on a tape winding device for winding and storing in a video cassette. The present invention relates to a suitable tape pulling and winding device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a pancake reel having a blank tape or a copy tape having a plurality of copies of video software of the same content wound thereon is mounted on a reel stand, and the pancake reel is mounted on the reel stand. A tape winding device has been proposed in which a copy tape of one video software is automatically stored in a video cassette by automatically pulling out the tape.

In such a tape winding device, for example, 100 video cassettes can be produced from one pancake reel. A pancake reel on which all blank tapes or copy tapes are wound is manually removed from the reel stand of the tape winding device as a simple reel (generally called a hub), and a new pancake reel is manually put on the reel stand. The tape winding device automatically winds a new video tape into the cassette.

FIG. 7 shows an example of a conventional tape winding device. In the tape winding device, two reel stands 2 and 3 are two-dimensionally provided in a housing 1, and each reel stand 2 is provided. , 3 pancake reels 4 and 5 are attached one by one. In use, the magnetic tape 6 is pulled out from one of the pancake reels 4 and 5, and the magnetic tape 6 pulled into the empty cassette 7 is wound in the arrow direction.

A tape usually called a leader tape is preloaded in an empty cassette 7, and the leader tape is pulled out from the cassette and cut, and the magnetic tape 6 is connected between the two cut ends. To be done. Such a splicing operation is performed by the splice portion of the tape winding device and the leader tape pull-up winding device provided attached thereto.

The operation of winding the tape on the cassette using the splice device and the leader tape pull-up winding device will be described with reference to FIG. First, as shown in FIG. 8A, the magnetic tape 2 is attached to the suction portion of the splice stage 205.
The empty cassette 2
When 40 is loaded, the lid (not shown) of the empty cassette 240 is opened by a lid opening mechanism (not shown), and the leader tape pull-out guide 203 and the tape pull-out arm 20 are placed inside the leader tape 202 in the empty cassette 240.
4 are arranged.

Next, as shown in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 8B, the leader tape pull-out guide 203 and the tape pull-out arm 204 move, and the leader tape 200 is sucked and held by the suction portion of the splice stage 205.

Next, a cutter (not shown) is moved in a direction orthogonal to the plane of the drawing to cut the leader tape 200, and as shown in FIG. 8C, a tape pull-out arm 204.
Is moved while holding one end 202A of the leader tape 202 by suction. After that, the splice arm 206 comes out from the back side of the paper at the position shown in FIG. 8C, and the one end 202B of the leader tape 202 and the start end 200A of the magnetic tape 200 are joined by the piece of the splice tape 210.

As a result, the leader tape 202 and the magnetic tape 200 are integrated. Next, after the splice arm 206 is pulled back, the splice stage 2
As shown in FIG. 8D, the magnetic tape 200 moves in the direction of the arrow and is wound into the cassette 240 by rotating the S reel motor 242S in a state where the suction state of the suction unit 05 is released. Since the tape suction surface (tape sliding surface) of the suction portion of the splice stage 205 has a channel-shaped cross section ([]), the leader tape pull-out guide 203 and the splice stage 205.
Of the magnetic tape 200 by the tension of the guide on the downstream side of the
Does not come off from the tape sliding surface.

When the magnetic tape 200 is wound into the cassette 240, the S reel motor 242S is stopped (see FIG. 8E).

Next, in the state of FIG. 8E, the suction operation of the suction portion of the splice stage 205 is started, and the magnetic tape 200 is cut by the cutter. Next, the tape pull-out arm 204 moves in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 8F and is stacked on the magnetic tape 200. After that, as shown in FIG. 8G, after the splice arm 206 comes out from the back side of the paper, it moves in the direction of the arrow to move the end 20 of the leader tape 202.
2A and the end 200B of the magnetic tape 200 are joined by the splice tape 210 which is a piece. Finally, as shown in FIG. 8H, the S reel motor 242S (or the T reel motor 242T) is rotated to wind the looped magnetic tape 200 and leader tape 202 onto the reel in the cassette 240.

[0012]

In the conventional leader tape pull-out and winding device, the leader tape pull-out guide 203 for pulling out the leader tape 202 as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B is magnetic as shown in FIGS. 8C to 8F. It was also used to wind the tape 200. That is, the leader tape pull-out guide 203 also serves as a magnetic tape take-up guide. For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-84476.
The issue also shows an example.

However, as described above, the leader tape pull-out guide and the magnetic tape take-up guide are originally different in their functions, and therefore different in preferable shape and size. The leader tape pull-out guide needs to have a small size so that it can be inserted into the cassette, but the magnetic tape take-up guide has a relatively large outer diameter so as not to damage the magnetic tape during the tape winding operation. There is a need.

There are two types of leader tape pull-out guides: a rotary type having a roller and a non-rotating type having no roller. In the rotary type, when the outer diameter of the guide is reduced, a small bearing is used to be mounted inside. However, there is a drawback in that the life of the bearing cannot be extended. Even in the non-rotating guide, if the outer diameter of the guide is reduced, the magnetic tape running along the guide is excessively bent, so that the magnetic tape is easily damaged as described above.

Further, in the conventional leader tape pull-up and take-up device, there is a case where the guide is brought into contact with the magnetic surface side of the tape, but such a method has a drawback that the magnetic tape is easily damaged.

In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a tape pull-up and winding device that extends the life of the leader tape pull-out guide and does not damage the magnetic tape during the tape winding operation. ..

[0017]

According to the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, for example, in a tape pull-up winding device 80 for winding a magnetic tape in a cassette arranged in a splicing device 70, a cassette The leader tape has a leader tape pull-out guide 810 for pulling out a leader tape previously mounted therein and conveying it to the splice portion 74 of the splice device 70, and a tape winding guide 820 for guiding the tape during winding of the tape. The pull-out guide 810 moves along a plane parallel to the main surface of the cassette and is inserted into the upper end of the cassette to engage with the leader tape at the first position A and the leader tape splicing unit 70 at the splice portion. The tape take-up guide 820 changes to the second position B held at 74, and the tape winding guide 820 is flat on the main surface of the cassette. In a direction perpendicular to the main surface of the cassette, changing between a third position C near the upper end of the cassette and a fourth position D for guiding the tape during winding of the tape. It is configured so that it can be moved between the third position C and the fifth position E which is arranged in a direction away from the cassette with respect to the third position C.

In the tape drawing and winding device 80 of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, for example, the leader tape drawing guide 810 moves from the first position A to the second position B at the beginning of tape winding. Due to the change, the leader tape is pulled out from the cassette and conveyed to the splice portion 74 of the splice device 70 to be ready for the splicing operation. After the splicing operation of cutting the leader tape and connecting it to the magnetic tape is completed, The tape winding guide 820 is located at the third position C from the fifth position E.
To the fourth position D, the leader tape is guided outward, and then the leader tape pull-out guide 81
0 changes from the second position B to the first position A to prepare for the magnetic tape winding operation, and the magnetic tape is guided by the tape winding guide 820 and the magnetic tape is wound into the cassette. After the removing operation is completed, the leader tape pull-out guide 810 is set to the first position A.
To the second position B, the magnetic tape is conveyed to the splice portion 74 of the splicing device 70 to be ready for the splicing operation, and then the tape winding guide 820 is moved from the fourth position D to the third position. Change to position C and then 5th
Position E, and after the splicing operation of cutting the magnetic tape and connecting it to the leader tape is completed, the leader tape pull-out guide 810 changes from the second position B to the first position A and completes the magnetic tape. The product cassette is manufactured by winding the product cassette into a cassette.

[0019]

According to the present invention, the leader tape pull-out guide 810 and the magnetic tape take-up guide 820 are separately provided without being used in common, and the two guides can be independently moved. Therefore, the leader tape pull-out guide 810 is downsized to have a small size, and the magnetic tape take-up guide 820 has a relatively large outer diameter, thereby facilitating the leader tape pull-out operation and during the magnetic tape winding operation. In addition, it is possible to prevent the magnetic tape from being damaged, and the winding shape of the tape in the cassette is improved. It
