ABSTRACT:
A cassette or cartridge-loading tape transport is disclosed, for use in magnetic recorders and the like, especially data recorders. The device includes tracks for slidably receiving a cassette or cartridge. A plate is slidably supported below the tracks and a drive motor is mounted on the plate. A constant-force spring biases the plate to a forward position. A plurality of lever arms supporting rollers are pivotally mounted adjacent the plate. Each lever arm includes a cam surface cooperating with a cam surface on the plate so that the rollers on the arms are moved from a lowered, inoperative position to a raised position engaging, locating and locking the cassette or cartridge within the recorder. A constant-force spring biases the lever arms to a raised position.
