ABSTRACT:
In this telephone answering device, incoming messages are recorded on a tape that is wound onto a take-up reel. During such recording, an indicator wheel is rotated by a drive wheel that is geared to the take-up reel. An arm on the drive wheel engages a tab projecting from the indicator wheel to accomplish this rotation. Upon reception of a "beep" tone sent over the telephone line by the user who wishes to retrive his messages, the tape is rewound, causing counter-rotation of the drive wheel. The indicator wheel is held stationary. When rewind is complete, the tape is driven forward again to play out the recorded messages. This rotates the drive wheel forward until the arm touches the indicator wheel tab. An electrical circuit then is completed which terminates the operation, since all recorded messages have now been played back. Transfer between forward and reverse tape drive is accomplished by a motor driven spiral cam, the follower of which pivots the reel drive motor to the requisite forward or reverse position.
