ABSTRACT:
A recorder-reproducer includes a rotary head cylinder against which a tape from a tape cassette is slidable, two movable bodies for moving the tape toward and away from the rotary head cylinder, two connectors having ends angularly movably coupled to the movable bodies, respectively, and a sole rotatable body to which opposite ends of the connectors are angularly movably coupled. The rotatable body has a recessed portion with at least one of the connectors being positioned for interference with the recessed portion. At least one of the connectors has two relatively slidable connector plates and a spring acting therebetween. The recorder-reproducer also includes a pivot shaft about which the rotatable body is rotatable, at least one of the connectors having a means for preventing said one of the connectors from interfering with the pivot shaft. The recorder-reproducer further includes a capstan shaft and a pinch roller for sandwiching the tape therebetween, and a pinch roller drive means responsive to rotation of the rotatable body for turning the pinch roller toward and away from the capstan shaft. The spring has a spring force selected such that when the movable bodies are stopped after the tape is loaded against the rotary head cylinder, a first force imposed on the rotatable body through the connector with the spring is greater than a second force applied, in a direction opposite to the first force, to the rotatable body through the pinch roller drive means as the pinch roller is pressed against the capstan shaft.
