ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a cassette/cartridge type tape transport assembly for use in digital memory systems which includes a flexure member which supports a transducer head for movement into and out of operative engagement with a magnetic tape. The flexure member is in the form of a one-piece pantograph composed of plastic material which is secured at one end, the free end of the flexure member supporting the transducer head and being deflected by an actuating member to move the transducer head into engagement with the magnetic tape. The free end of the flexure member will flex during this engaging movement to orientate the transducer head in a direction perpendicular to the magnetic tape throughout the movement. A self-aligning pinch roller is also mounted on the flexure member in addition to a tape guide and an end of tape sensor member.
