ABSTRACT:
A novel winding or takeup mechanism is disclosed for use in a machine for automatically loading tape into empty cassettes containing leaders, i.e., C-zero cassettes. The novel winding or takeup mechanism, which provides extended machine life and faster machine operation, comprises an arrangement whereby an electric motor drive operates to rotate a takeup spindle adapted to drivingly engage a hub or spool of an empty cassette in loading position. The spindle is coupled to the output shaft of the takeup motor by a telescoping coupling arrangement whereby the spindle can be reciprocated axially into and out of driving engagement with a hub or spool of a cassette disposed in loading position without interfering with rotation of the spindle by the motor output shaft. A pneumatically operated yoke is employed to accomplish axial reciprocation of the spindle while a separate member transfers the rotational force of the electric motor output shaft to the spindle. The yoke is coupled to the spindle so as not to impede rotation of the spindle.
