ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for winding magnetic tape into a cassette positions and holds a cassette case, extracts and retains leader tape, cuts and splices leader tape to magnetic tape, and winds magnetic tape onto a hub inside the cassette case. After a predetermined amount of magnetic tape has been wound on the hub, the magnetic tape is retained, cut, spliced to leader tape, and the extracted slack tape is wound into the cassette case. The tape retaining mechanism has a first and second tape retainer which separately hold the cut ends of leader tape, and a third tape retainer which holds the cut end of magnetic tape. The first and second tape retainers attach to the extracted leader tape, and are positioned with their attachment surfaces adjacent to a front cavity of the cassette case. Once the leader tape has been cut, one of the first and second tape retainers is swung away from the cavity to separate the cut tape ends. Then, the magnetic tape can be spliced to one of the separated cut ends and wound into the cassette. The magnetic tape is cut and spliced to the other of the cut ends of the leader tape.
