ABSTRACT:
A video cassette adapter including: a housing having a receptacle for receiving a VHS-C video cassette; a first and a second tape conducting members pivotally disposed in two lateral sections of the housing for drawing the tape of the video cassette outward to an opening of a front section of the housing: a tape rolling reel disposed in the housing; a gear set operatively connected with the tape rolling reel; an operation button slidably disposed on and extended into the housing; a driving lever operatively connected with the first tape conducting member and the gear set; a damper mechanism disposed between the gear set and the driving lever; a transmission mechanism for driving the second tape conducting member; a linkage lever disposed between the first tape conducting member and the transmission mechanism; and a spring connected between the housing and the driving lever to help in retrieving the tape. By means of simple operation, the tape can be drawn to the operation position while keeping the tape properly tensioned. In addition, after retrieved, the tape is fully taken up without slack to avoid tangle and damage of the tape.
