In a tape loading device, a loading drive gear rotates about a shaft. The loading drive gear includes a U-shaped groove in which the shaft is disposed and a spring accommodating portion disposed continuously to the U-shaped groove. The first and second arms are rotated by the rotation of the loading drive gear, whereby sliders are moved along guide openings so as to wind a tape around a drum. When the tape has been loaded, the sliders are stopped by catchers. When the loading drive gear is further rotated, the shaft thereof is moved to the spring accommodating portion, and an energizing force is generated to a spring and exerted on the first and second arms in a direction where the sliders are pressed against the catchers. With this operation, the positions of the sliders are fixed so that the tape can stably travel. Since the spring is contained in the loading drive gear, the number of parts can be reduced as well as the tape loading device can be arranged simply and assembled easily.
