Abstract
A brake mechanism in a tape recorder for applying a brake force to a supply reel and a take-up reel. In particular, a supply reel main brake and a take-up reel main brake are rotatably supported on a movable chassis. The brakes have first ends provided with rubber pads and opposite ends provided with abutting portions which are abuttable with each other. Intermediate portions of the brakes are provided with control pins which are in abutment with the cam portion of a slider. A spring interconnects the control pins. The brakes are configured such that the abutting piece of the supply reel side main brake pushes the abutting piece of the take-up side main brake so as to cause the rubber pad to be displaced from the take-up reel stand. Accordingly, the take-up side main brake is controlled by movement of the supply side main brake.
