ABSTRACT:
Tape feed control apparatus for a correction tape cassette 11 for a typewriter for controlling the amount of correction tape being fed to a printing point for lifting-off or covering-up a typed character, comprises a housing 13, a post 15 mounted in the housing 13, a brake finger 17 pivotally mounted on post 15 so that an end portion 17a of the brake finger 17 is in frictional contact with correction tape 18 on a take-up spool 19 to hold the tape firmly on the take-up spool 19, a spring 20 in contact with brake finger 17 urges a brake finger end portion 17a against the tape 18 on the take-up spool 19, an opening 25 in the sidewall 13a of housing 13 admits a typewriter metering post 26 into the housing 13, a stop member 27 formed in the housing 13 limits the travel of typewriter metering post 26 into housing 13, the stop member 27 is stationary so that its position does not change in response to the amount of correction tape 18 on the take-up spool 19 so that the distance travelled by the metering post 26 corresponds to a constant amount of rotation of take-up spool 19 no matter whether cover-up correction tape or lift-off correction tape is on spool 19 and so that as more and more correction tape winds around take-up spool 19, more correction tape is advanced for the same amount of rotation of take-up spool 19 so that the spacing between characters on the correction tape increases during the life of correction tape cassette 11.
