Reel-table driving mechanism with idler friction wheel and reel friction wheel for use in tape recording/reproducing apparatus

摘要

A reel-table driving mechanism of a tape recording/reproducing apparatus is operative to selectively drive two reel-tables. An idler has an idler friction wheel sharing a common shaft with an idler gearing portion. Each reel-table has a reel friction wheel rotating while making contact with the idler friction wheel which ensures the idler gearing portion meshes with the reel gear while maintaining an appropriate distance between the shafts of the reel table and the idler.
