<p>PURPOSE:To save the installation space and shorten the operation time by providing a tape tension regulator shaft rotary driving mechanism which turns a tension regulator shaft around the axis of rotation of a tension detector in the horizontal direction. CONSTITUTION:When a tape is loaded, the tension detector 4 is held in a slightly pushed-up state with the spring force of a 2nd coil spring 3. Then when the tape loading is completed and the tip of an operation rod 30 is pushed to turn, the tension detector 4 rotates downward around a pivot shaft part 6 against the spring force of the 2nd coil spring 31 and a tension regulator shaft 2 turns around the axis of rotation through tension regulator shaft rotary driving mechanisms 13 - 15 right before the tension regulator shaft 2 becomes nearly parallel to the tape 9 to abut on the back coat surface of the tape 9, thereby giving tension to the tape. Consequently, the installation space is reduced and the operation time is shortened.</p> |
