Abstract

In a device for loading a tape-like element, such as, a magnetic tape, film or the like, from supply reel to take-up reel, a tape path for the tape-like element is formed from the vicinity of the supply reel to the vicinity of the take-up reel, a rotation detector is connected with the supply reel to detect the rotation of a predetermined angle in the supply reel and generates a control signal therefrom, and a blower is provided to introduce air under pressure into the tape path for conveying the tape-like element along the tape path in response to the control signal.
