<p>PURPOSE:To ensure the easy passing of a tape guide even at a narrow part, by drawing each tape guide almost in the same route and guiding it in the orthogonal direction when plural tape guides positioned within a cut of a cassette are drawn out and guided to the lateral direction. CONSTITUTION:The tape guides 51, 52 and 55 draw a tape out of a tape cassette 4 and then wind the tape with a prescribed angle round the guide cylinders 14 and 15 which are set on a single side face of the cassette 4. These tape guides are arranged lateraly and almost linearly within a cut 4a of the cassette 4 when the tape is not loaded. These guides are guided from the cut 4a by means of a guiding means when the tape is loaded to be drawn out in almost the same route and at the same time to be guided in the lateral direction nearly orthogonally to the drawn-out direction. Thus the tape guide can pass eaily through a narrow part, and as a result the planar space can be reduced for the loading mechanism.</p> |
