ABSTRACT:
The reel brake apparatus for a VCR has a releasing shaft and a mode plate for driving the releasing shaft. The releasing shaft is movably mounted on a main base, and the mode plate has a recess part which is recessed from a plane part thereof. The mode plate is movably disposed along a planar direction thereof. When a cassette is loaded in the VCR, the releasing shaft is inserted into the cassette. A locking device in the cassette is driven by the inserted releasing shaft, so reel hubs in the cassette are released. If the operating mode of the VCR is converted to a stop mode or an eject mode during the running of the tape, the mode plate is moved so that the releasing shaft may be accommodated in the recess part. Accordingly, the releasing shaft is detached from the cassette to lock the reel hubs.
