ABSTRACT:
A tape cassette loader having a cutting system for cutting a strip of splicing tape for application to a magnetic tape junction during a tape splicing operation. A cutting blade carried by a movable tape applicator is driven past a stationary window member through which the splicing tape is fed, for cutting the splicing tape by action of the cutting blade against a cutting edge formed in the window. The cutting blade is rotatably mounted to the tape applicator and biased outwardly therefrom for holding the blade against the window member for properly cutting the splicing tape. As the tape applicator travels subjacent to the window member, the cutting blade is rotated through an arcuate path beneath the window member; the cutting edge of the movable blade is rotated to a position for preventing cutting of the magnetic tape and a pressure surface of the blade is simultaneously carried into a position for pressing against the splicing tape during application of the same to the magnetic tape junction.
An air cylinder is utilized to drive the tape applicator through the cutting operation and onto the magnetic tape for applying a pressure force against the magnetic tape to properly seal the splicing tape across the tape junction. A pair of springs working in conjunction with the air force powering the air cylinder provides a controlled pressure during splicing tape application.
