ABSTRACT:
A tape loading apparatus is employed in a recording and/or reproducing apparatus including, a guide drum having at least one head for recording or reproducing a signal on or from a tape. The tape loading apparatus comprises endless belt-shaped members provided side by side on both sides of the guide drum so that each endless belt-shaped member has one straight portion extending between the guide drum and a cassette, driving mechanism for driving the endless belt-shaped members so that the endless belt-shaped members travel in a direction towards the guide drum upon loading mode, and travel in a direction towards the cassette upon unloading mode, a pair of tape guiding mechanisms for guiding the tape so that the tape travels along a predetermined tape travelling path throughout a predetermined range with respect to the guide drum at a predetermined position, by locking the tape and moving in accordance with the travel of each endless belt-shaped member from a position inside the cassette to the predetermined position adjacent the guide drum upon loading mode, a pair of stopping members fixed at the above predetermined position, guiding path mechanism for guiding the pair of tape guiding mechanism so that the tape guiding mechanisms move along a predetermined path, and supporting and holding mechanism for supporting and holding the tape guiding mechanism at the above predetermined position by pushing against the stopping members to urge the tape guiding mechanism in a direction identical to the moving direction upon loading mode, after the tape guiding mechanism has reached the above predetermined position by moving along the guiding path mechanism.
