ABSTRACT:
The invention proposes a tape drive apparatus, tape extraction apparatus and tape cartridge that enable a reliable chucking and chucking release, and a stable carrying of a tape being extracted from a cartridge. The invention is constituted by a magnetically recording/reproducing apparatus; a cartridge mount mechanism5whereon a tape cartridge4with the magnetic tape T wound therein is mounted; a takeup reel3to wind up magnetic T thereon; a leader block12attached to one end of the magnetic tape T with a rotation restriction section provided thereon; a chucking mechanism14which comprises a chucking pin27that restricts the rotation of the leader block and chucks the leader block12, chucking and releasing chucking of the leader block12; a carrying mechanism11which comprises the carrying section13for carrying the chucked leader block12; a chucking release levers33and34which releases chucking of the chucking mechanism14, which is actuated by cams35and36provided on the carrying section13and disposed on both ends of the cam groove19for guiding the movement of the leader block12; and reel motors53C and53T including frequency generators52C and52T for rotationally driving the tape reel410within the tape cartridge4and the takeup reel3, respectively.
