Abstract

A power transmission device for a tape recorder, which is capable of easily transmitting power to a tape loading unit or a reel table system, includes a loading system driving gear for transmitting power to the tape loading unit to thereby position a tape with respect to a drum, and a reel-system driving gear for driving the reel table system, in which the gears are selectively driven to receive power from the capstan motor via transmission and rotating gears operated by a magnetic force and a spring. By driving the tape loading unit and reel tables with the capstan motor, one motor can be removed to further minimize deck size.
