When the projecting pin 98 of the control member 96 collides with the stopper 103, the teeth 99 at the tip of the control member 96 are connected to the gear 100.
Although the gears 100 and 100 are in mesh with each other, they are meshed to such an extent that no lateral pressure is applied to the gear 100.

As described above, the recording operation member 114 and the playback operation member 11
In a so-called recording operating state in which both the capstan and the capstan are held in an operating state, a recording standby state is obtained in which the pinch roller is held in a position separated from the capstan.

The first switch 50 connected between the motor 48 and the power source 52 in FIG. 7 is closed by the tip of the traction member 91 that is moved by the operation of the regeneration operation member 111, as shown in FIG. The second switch 51 is a timer-based switch, and the motor 48 will not be driven unless the second switch 51 is closed.

Next, in the recording standby state (see FIG. 8), when the time preset by the timer comes and the second switch 51 in FIG. 7 is closed, the motor 48 is driven and its pulley 49 is closed. starts rotating counterclockwise, for example.

The rotation of the pulley 49 is transmitted to the flywheels 45, 46 by rotation transmission means using the belt 47, and the capstans 41, 42 are rotated counterclockwise.

On the other hand, the rotation of the pulley 49 of the master motor 48 is controlled by the belt 10.
The rotation is transmitted to the intermediate pulley 105 by the rotation transmission means 6, and the gear 100 attached to the rotating shaft 102 of the intermediate pulley 105 rotates counterclockwise in the figure.

In FIG. 8, when the gear 100 begins to rotate counterclockwise, the teeth 9 of the control member 96 are meshed with the gear 100.
9 is pushed to the right in the figure, and the control member 96 rotates clockwise in the figure about the shaft 97.

As a result, the protruding pin 98 of the control member 96
03, the head support member 71 is pulled by the tensile force of the spring 90.

The control member 96 that has come off the stopper 103 is tilted to the right in the figure as shown in an enlarged view in FIG. It is in contact with the inclined portion 104.

When the head support member 71 is pulled by the spring 90 and completely moves within the allowable movement range, the support member 9
The magnetic head 70 supported by the magnetic head 6 accurately contacts the magnetic tape 11 at the third window 14 of the cassette 10, and the first and second pinch rollers 61, 64 are connected to the head support member 96.
Since the movement prevention by the protrusions 84 and 85 provided in the cassette 10 is released, the first window 12 and the fifth window of the cassette 10
The magnetic tape 11 is pressed into contact with the first capstan 41 and the second capstan 42 at the window 16 of the magnetic tape 11 .

The capstan 411 is already driven by the aforementioned motor 48.
and 42 are rotating, so a pinch roller 61 is attached to them.
The magnetic tape 11 in the cassette 10 is fed at a predetermined speed from the moment when the magnetic tapes 64 and 64 are brought into pressure contact with each other.

The magnetic tape fed by the capstan and pinch roller is wound up by the reel shaft 18 of the cassette 10 without loosening.

A rotational force is applied to the reel shaft 18 by a tape winding spindle 121.

Thus, as soon as the motor 48 starts rotating, the tape recorder can be automatically switched from the first recording standby state to the first recording state.

In particular, the control member 96, which serves to maintain the first recording standby state at the second position and sometimes to release the first recording standby state, moves from the second position to the initial first position. During movement, since the inclined portion 104 is provided corresponding to the protruding pin 98, the device is guided along the inclined surface of the inclined portion 104 and reliably returns to the initial first position. This can contribute to ensuring the absence recording function.
