ARRANGEMENT FOR THE TAPE-END SWITCH-OFF FOR MAGNETIC TAPE RECORDERS, IN PARTICULAR CASSETTE RECORDERS

摘要

An arrangement is provided for the automatic tape-end switch-off for cassette recorders. Two rotary movements are developed in the recorder via the takeup spindle, pulleys and a flywheel mass. End of tape results in a change of direction of the first rotary movement with respect to the second. The change in direction is converted into either an axial or radial movement which effects switch-off.
