<p>The present invention provides for an improved, smaller, lighter, portable electrocardiographic signal recorder for use with ambulatory patients. The recorder includes a capstan assembly (800) including a rotatable capstan (802) and a pinch roller assembly (210) for cooperation with the capstan for moving the tape. The capstan is rotated about an axis substantially perpendicular to the plane of the case by a pulley arrangement (804, 806) driven by a motor and gear case assembly (250) rotating about an axis substantially within a plane parallel to the case, the pulley arrangement including an idler pulley (404) rotatable about an axis transverse to both the capstan and motor axis for rotating the belt coupling the gear case drive to the capstan. The motor is automatically switched on, the pinch roller moved to engage the capstan, and a recording head (200) brought into a recording position proximate the moving cassette tape when the top of the case is closed through the sliding movement of a slide assembly (1400) in engagement within the case near the hinge between the top and bottom. </p> |
