ABSTRACT:
A tape recorder of the type in which the tape traveling direction is reversible, comprises first and second pinch roller mechanisms for respectively moving a tape of a tape cassette in forward and reverse directions, a head mechanism for rotating a magnetic head over a one-half revolution to change the position of a head element responsive to the tape traveling direction, a driving mechanism for selectively rotating supply and take-up reel shafts responsive to the tape traveling direction, and a control mechanism for controlling the head mechanism. The control mechanism comprises a first rotary lever for operating the head mechanism, a second rotary lever for controlling the two pinch roller mechanisms relatedly with the driving mechanism, a resilient member for coupling the first and second rotary levers so that they are unitarily and independently rotatable, and first and second rotating mechanisms for respectively rotating the first and second rotary levers. While the first rotating mechanism operates, the first and second rotary levers rotate unitarily, and the tape recorder assumes a forward or reverse reproduction mode. While the second rotating mechanism operates, the first and second rotary levers rotate independently, and the tape recorder assumes a pause mode, for example.
