GUIDING MECHANISM FOR TAPE GUIDE

摘要

PURPOSE:To surely select the moving routes of tape guide members by a selecting means which selectively controls the moving routes from the first moving route to the second moving route by the moving action of a tape guide means to a tape loading direction. CONSTITUTION:An inlet side first boat 16 moves along the front surface of a guide plate 40 and a boss part 35a projecting downward from the rear surface of this guide plate 40 slides and moves while making contact with a branch guide plate 45 when the first tape guide member 24 exists near a branch point 25. The second tape guide member 25 moves as well and a guide projection 26 formed on the rear surface of an inlet side second boat 11 is guided in an arrow M' direction and is slid and moved along a third guiding groove 43 by coming into contact with the left flank of a contact part 4 of the branch guide plate 45 as the loading 30 further rotates in a direction L. The projection engages with an inlet side second boat positioning member 29 and the tape loading action in the tape inlet side ends.
