ABSTRACT:
A tape rewinding device for manually rewinding video cassette tapes includes a rectangular housing having an open face communicating with a hollow interior portion dimensioned to receive a video cassette tape. A pair of sprockets are mounted for rotation in the housing and are dimensioned for engagement with spool drive openings of a video cassette tape. An upwardly extending cylindrical pin in the housing is disposed for engagement with a spool lock clutch of a video cassette tape. A shallow rectangular recess formed in the back face of the housing is separated from the hollow interior by a partition wall and encloses a gear mechanism for rapidly rewinding a video tape. A manually actuated drive shaft extends through a cover plate disposed over the recess and is connected to a manual crank.
