ABSTRACT:
An automatic reversible tape recorder is disclosed in which the functions of the keys for fast forward and rewinding are improved, and the manufacturing and assembling are rendered easier owing to the simple structure of the components. The tape recorder includes first and second manipulation levers 110 and 120 being capable of moving back and forth horizontally to make a magnetic head ascend or descend upon completion of displacements of a certain distance. The tape recorder further includes a tape running direction reversing member 130 for reversing the running direction of the tape, by fixing the first and second manipulation levers 110 and 120 upon completion of ascending or descending of the magnetic head 104 owing to advancements of the first and second manipulation levers 110 and 120, by being turned as much as a certain angle upon advancement of the second manipulation lever 120 as much as a certain distance, and by pushing a program lever 150 (which actuates a cam gear). In the present invention, the functions of FF and REW are improved, and the mentioned functions are carried out in a simple manner. Further, the manufacture and assembling of the tape recorder become easier. Further owing to the simple constitution of the direction reversing member, the price of the tape recorder can be lowered.
