Magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus including S fixed chassis for supporting a head drum and a movable chassis for mounting a tape cassette

摘要

A tape running guide and tape loading mechanism for a magnetic tape recording and reproducing apparatus including a tape guiding system having, at a tape supply side, at least a first movable slanted pin and a first movable tape height regulating guide roller for deriving a tape from an open space of a magnetic tape cassette and winding the tape on a cylindrical drum, a second slanted pin and a second tape height regulating guide roller and third movable guide pin for winding the tape on the second slanted pin. At a tape returning side, a fourth movable slanted pin and a fourth movable tape height regulating guide roller for deriving the magnetic tape from the open space of the tape cassette and winding the magnetic tape on the cylindrical drum a fifth movable slanted pin and a pinch roller which are to be derived from the open space of the tape cassette and a capstan in arranged outside the open space. The movable tape guide members are movable in the common area and a time-shared manner to thereby make the loading mechanism compact.
