Abstract
A tape player having two belts wound around a motor shaft, with one further wound around flywheels provided with capstans and another further wound around a reel shaft drive system, said flywheels and said reel shaft drive system being adapted to be separately rotated by the different belts, respectively. PAC BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a tape player art and more particularly to a tape player which can enjoy minimized wow and flutter as well as reduced thickness in construction. The reduction in thickness of a tape player will not only contribute to reduction of materials to be used for manufacturing of the tape player but also enable the tape player to be suitably installed with advantage in a limited space for a driver's seat in a car. In conventional mobile tape players, it is general that wow and flutter is caused principally by a load fluctuation in the tape drive system. The conventional mobile tape players generally employ such a system that flywheels are driven by a belt wound around a motor reel. The reel driver is driven through a flywheel drive of a constant rate and a drive system is formed through a fast-forward/rewind mechanism, so that the d…
