ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for filling a cassette (34) with a length of magnetic tape (4) comprises a cassette holder (32) which is movable between at least two positions, a splicing table (68) which is provided with three rectangular mutually parallel vacuum pads, of which a first vacuum pad (71) is arranged on a stationary first block (69) of the splicing table and a second (72) and a third vacuum pad (73) are arranged on a second block (70) of the splicing table which block is pivotable about a pivotal axis (74), an extraction member (67) for withdrawing the leader tape (111) from the cassette and positioning it on the splicing table, a cutting member (77) for cutting the leader tape and severing a length of magnetic tape, a splicing member (25) for splicing the magnetic tape to the leader tape, a winding member (86) for winding the length of magnetic tape and leader tape into the cassette. The cassette holder (32) is pivotable about a pivotal axis ( 23) between a first position straight above the splicing table (68) for cooperation with the winding member (86) and a second position in which it is inclined relative to the splicing table (68) and in which the splicing member (25) can be activated. The pivotal axis (32) of the cassette holder extends at least substantially in plane (75) through the pivotal axis (74) of the second block (70) and half the width of the first vacuum pad (71) between the pivotal axis (74) of the second block and the upper surface of the first vacuum pad and at least substantially parallel to the pivotal axis (74).
