Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the adjustment of the titled device when it is produced by using a control circuit to control the action of an inserting arm which shifts and inserts a selected cassette tape to a VTR and a return arm which move a cassette taperack back to its original place. CONSTITUTION:A selected cassette tape 1 is set at such a position that can be inserted to a cassette slot of a VTR7 and then inserted to the VTR7. In this case, the motor of an inserting arm 11 is driven through a control circuit. The arm 11 detects by an electric signal that the tape 1 is inserted to the VTR7. Then the motor reversed to reset the cassette taperack to its original position. The tape 1 inserted to the VTR7 is set under a reproduction state after a reproduction signal is sent to the VTR7 through the control circuit.

Furthermore, when returning a cassette tape from a VTR to a cassette rack, it is difficult to pick it out mechanically because the rear part of the cassette tape only slightly protrudes from the insertion slot of the VTR, requiring large-scale equipment with high precision. Furthermore, in order to pull out the cassette tape from the VTR using a hooking member, it is necessary to modify the rear surface of the cassette tape or to provide a separate member with a hooking groove.
