ABSTRACT:
For cleaning a magnetic head in a magnetic tape recorder, the cassette is provided with a cleaning device and is inserted in the magnetic tape recorder instead of a magnetic tape cassette. The cleaning device contains a cleaning element located at a carrier, the cleaning element pressing against the front side of the magnetic head instead of the magnetic tape and converting a rotary motion of a drive arrangement which normally drives the magnetic tape into a reciprocating motion and, under given conditions, simultaneously converting the rotary motion into a pivoting or rotational motion of the cleaning element relative to the magnetic head. The tape drive capstan of the magnetic tape recorder preferably serves a drive arrangement and the carrier is driven via an eccentric shaft which may be inclined relative to its rotational axis and via a worm gearing driven by the tape drive capstan.
