ABSTRACT:
A mode plate (5) which moves between a plurality of operational positions controls the respective positions of a head plate (2) and a link (8). The link (8) is turned to a forward and a reverse position to selectively operate pinch roller casings (12F, 12R) through a change link (4). This causes pinch rollers (13F, 13R) to be pressed against capstans (15F, 15R), respectively to thereby provide a forward or reverse play mode tape travel. By the turning of the link (8), an FF/REW plate (27) is moved to a forward and a reverse side through a detect link (9) and a spring (9a) such that FF/REW gears (25F, 25R) supported at the ends of an FF/REW plate (27) engage selectively with reel bases (11F, 11R) to thereby perform tape travel in an FF mode or a REW mode. A head plate (2) controls the positions of pinch roller casings (12F, 12R) and the FF/REW plate (27). At a stop mode position, the head plate (2) holds the pinch roller casings (12F, 12R) and FF/REW plate (27) at the release positions while holding the FF/REW plate (27) at the release position at a play mode position. The head plate (29) causes idler plates (26F, 26R) which support idler gears (24F, 24R) to engage pinch roller casings (12F, 12R) to operate the idler plates (26F, 26R) depending on the operation of the pinch roller casings (12F, 12R) and engages the idler gears (24F, 24R) selectively with reel bases (11F, 11R), respectively.
