ABSTRACT:
A cassette tape recorder is provided in which a stop, a record, a playback and a rewind mode can be established by using a single operation lever. The lever is supported for angular movement about a pivot on a baseplate which is secured within an enclosure, and includes a knob which projects outwardly of the enclosure. The lever can be sequentially brought into positions corresponding to the various modes by operating the knob. The lever is provided with a notch cam, which is engaged by a pin on a control lever which is supported on the baseplate above the operation lever for angular movement about a pivot. A rotary shaft is rotatably mounted in the control lever and carries a pulley driven by an electric motor on one end and a relay wheel on the other end. A take-up shaft and a rewind shaft are rotatably mounted in the baseplate and have their one end extending into a cassette receiving housing while their other end project to the opposite side of the baseplate from the housing and carries a take-up wheel and a rewind wheel, respectively. The rewind wheel is maintained in operative connection with an idler rotatably mounted on the baseplate. The control lever is spring biased in a direction to urge the relay wheel thereon into operative connection with the take-up wheel, and the notch cam controls the movement of the control lever.
