ABSTRACT:
In a tape transporting device of the present invention, a long and winding endless loop master tape is partially stored in a loop bin, and a copy tape which has been obtained from a feeding reel is transported and wound by a winding reel. Moreover, a rail along which the master tape is transported and an air outlet which is established at one end of the rail are established in the vicinity of the outlet of the loop bin used for storing the master tape. A tension application roller, which is used for impressing tension on the master tape, is established behind the air outlet. The aforementioned air outlet ejects air toward the master tape, and the master tape is forced toward the rail by the pressure of the ejected air. Accordingly, when the master tape is retrieved from the outlet of the loop bin, the master tape is pressed toward the rail, and as a result, tension is produced. Even if the master tape transporting speed increases, there are no disturbances since the master tape is continuously pressed toward the rail.
