ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a device used to clean the magnetic tape head of a magnetic taped recording/playback unit incorporating the use of cassette mounted magnetic tapes. A housing of substantially the same shape and size of a magnetic tape cassette is adapted to be inserted within the cassette receiving aperture of the magnetic tape playback/recording unit. A pair of spring biased arms are independently and rotatably coupled about one of the cassette hubs. The disposition of the tape head and the capstan roller of the playback/recording unit causes the capstan drive to initiate rotation of a coupled gear train linking the independently rotatable arms. The surface used to clean the magnetic tape head is coupled to a planar transfer gear which rotates as a result of the capstan drive, the spring biased arm maintaining pressure against the magnetic tape head while the housing holding the cleaning apparatus is maintained within the playback/recording unit.
