ABSTRACT:
Tape cleaning apparatus comprising a platform having an upstanding wall at one end is disclosed. Upper and lower means are provided in the wall for receiving pads to clean, lubricate, and impart anti-static treatment to tape in cassettes when positioned thereagainst. Members on the platform extend thereabove for mounting and positioning cassettes with exposed tape portions in cleaning positions adjacent the pad receiving means. A first set of members, including a clip member, is positioned to engage the rear of a dual reel cassette in the lower position adjacent the platform. A second set of members is spaced rearwardly of the position of the dual reel cassette and extends thereabove to support a continuous loop cassette in an elevated position above that of the dual reel cassette, the members of the first set having a height below the minimum height above the platform of the continuous loop cassette. A pair of spindles is provided in the platform positioned to project through the reel hubs of a dual reel cassette, at least one spindle being adapted to engage the reel hub through which it projects. The engaging spindle and a roller in the upstanding wall positioned to engage tape against an idle roller in the continuous loop cassette provide the drive means for moving tape in the cassettes.
