CLEANING CASSETTE

摘要

The cleaning cassette is intended to clean magnetic heads of apparatus operating with magnetic cassettes, for example cassette recorders, and is provided with a mechanically operated cleaning member (18) which cleans the parts to be cleaned. In order to impregnate the cleaning member, preferably a driven cleaning tape (18) directly during the cleaning process with a cleaning liquid, the casing (10) of the cassette is provided with a hollow chamber (12) intended to contain the cleaning liquid. The latter is conveyed through a metering unit (16) up to the cleaning tape (18) by means of an outlet valve (40). The metering unit (16) and the outlet valve (40) deliver cleaning liquid to the cleaning tape (19) only when the latter is rotatingly driven by the drive mechanism (58, 72) of the apparatus. The cleaning tape (18) impregnated with cleaning liquid comes into contact with the parts of the drive mechanism (58, 72) and with the magnetic heads (56) to be cleaned.
