ABSTRACT:
In a device for loading a tape-like element, such as, a magnetic tape, film or the like, in an apparatus having supply and take-up reels which are disposed side-by-side with their axes substantially horizontal in a normal operating position of the apparatus, and a guide drum located under the supply reel in such normal operating position; a generally zig-zag path for the tape-like element is provided with an inlet adjacent the supply reel for receiving the tape-like element paid out from the latter and an outlet arranged near to the take-up reel, such path includes a supply side path portion extending from the inlet to a peripheral path portion around at least a part of the periphery of the guide drum and a take-up side path portion extending from the peripheral path portion to the outlet, the supply side, peripheral and take-up path portions have respective lower wall sections facing upwardly in the normal operating position of the apparatus, and air under pressure is introduced into the path of the tape-like element along such upwardly facing lower wall sections for readily conveying the tape-like element along the described path.
