ABSTRACT:
A reversible continuous loop cartridge includes a conventional front accessible pressure roller drive. A first pulley is affixed to, and rotatable with the roller. A second pulley is coupled through a one way clutch to the cartridge hub. An O ring interlocks the two pulleys, whose diameters are in a predetermined ratio. When driven in the forward direction the roller, and pulley rotate but the clutch decouples the hub whereby the tape is driven in the well known manner. When reversely driven the clutch engages such that the roller, pulleys, and hub rotate. The hub drive assures proper reverse operation of the continuous loop tape.
A fast forward cartridge tape player includes the conventional cartridge receiving cavity and cylindrical capstan. The capstan is rotatably driven about its vertically positioned longitudinal axis by a motor actuated flywheel, and it is located to forcibly engage the cartridge pressure roller on cartridge insertion into the cavity. Crescents, having a concave face, a convex face, and a vertical dimension are positioned to rotate about the capstan. The concave face encircles greater than 180.degree. of the capstan circumference while revealing a substantial arc on the capstan surface. The convex face is of predetermined curvature providing a desired fast forward speed
ormal speed ratio. The vertical dimension of each crescent is fixed to allow each crescent access to the pressure roller.
