ABSTRACT:
A cassette tape recorder is provided in which "auto shut-off" is achieved at a terminal end of a running tape during the rewind mode when the tape comes to a stop. A tape rewind shaft is moved by a rotating drive applied thereto to cause a rocking motion of a tape end detecting lever, whereby an abutment lever is moved into the path of rotation of a release pin on a flywheel. The pin rocks the abutment lever to unlock a tape rewind member which has been maintained in its tape rewind position, thus returning it to its initial position. Systems for transmitting a rotating drive to a tape take-up shaft and to the tape rewind shaft each comprise a gear train. During a tape rewind mode, a drive switching gear in the train is operated by a switching lever to be disconnected from the transmission system associated with the tape take-up shaft and to be connected with the transmission system for the tape rewind shaft.
