Abstract
A tape draw-out mechanism in a tape recorder which has a tape cassette mounted thereon. The tape recorder includes a rotary drum having a magnetic head where a tape is drawn out from the tape cassette and wound on the rotary drum by a predetermined amount for recording and reproduction. The tape draw-out mechanism includes first and second guide members which are adapted to be movable along an outer periphery of the rotary drum for drawing out the tape from the tape cassette. Additionally, a third guide member is provided to draw the tape out in cooperation with the first and second guide members. The third guide member includes a first tape draw-out pin which adjusts the height of the tape passed through a capstan at a terminal end of the tape draw-out position to a height which corresponds to the height of the tape cassette position. Additionally, the third guide member includes a second tape draw-out pin for directing the tape whose height has been adjusted to a position which is parallel to the tape cassette.
