ABSTRACT:
A miniature cassette tape recorder is provided for use with a micro-cassette of a size which is comparable to a small packet of matches, and is constructed and sized so as to be received in a pocket of a suit or shirt. The recorder includes, in selected combinations, an automatic stop mechanism which is adapted to stop the operation of the tape recorder automatically during a recording or playback operation in response to a shift of a shaft associated with a tape supply hub which occurs as a result of the drive on the tape which is transmitted to the tape hub to which a tape end is secured and hence to the shaft when the tape end is reached; a locking device for holding a recording button in its operative position; a detection mechanism for detecting a lug which is provided on the part of the cassette for preventing an inadvertent erasure of a previously recorded magnetic tape; an operating mechanism which permits a rapid advance, rewind, queing or review operation with a single button; an improved support mechanism for a capstan shaft and its associated flywheel; an improved capstan drive mechanism, or a drive transmission mechanism imparting a drive to the flywheel which is fixedly mounted on the capstan which in turn cooperates with a pinch roller to feed the tape at a uniform speed, including an idler support mechanism and its associated adjusting mechanism. The tape recorder is connectible with another electroacoustic instrument.
