ABSTRACT:
A magnetic-tape apparatus comprises a deck (1) carrying a cylindrical drum system (3) provided with at least one rotatable magnetic head (7). On the deck (1) a sliding plate (31) is guided for rectilinear movement towards and away from the drum system (3). The sliding plate carries at least two mutually spaced tape guides (73 to 76) which lead a length of magnetic tape (84) to the drum system (3) by a movement of the sliding plate (31) towards the drum system (3). The deck (1) carries two winding spindles (12, 13) for winding and unwinding the magnetic tape respectively. The sliding plate (31) is provided with projecting portions (31d) which position the tape guides (73-76) relative to the drum system (3) in the end position of the sliding plate (31). The sliding plate is also provided with guide edges (69, 79), which control two pivotal arms (62, 63) which are arranged on the deck and which carry tape guides (65, 66). A second control groove (60) in the sliding plate (31) controls a pressure-roller lever (32) carrying a pressure roller (34) while a third control groove (31a) controls an idler wheel (26) for driving one of the winding spindles (12, 13).
