Abstract

A magnetic recording and reproducing device wherein a casing for a monitor image section is attached to a casing for a VTR section through a rotatable shaft mechanism. The device comprises a support shaft member and a rotatable member which do not require strict dimensional accuracy, and coil springs and shafts. The rotatable member is turnable relative to the support shaft member attached to the first casing. The support shaft member and rotatable member can be manufactured as inexpensive moldings. The support shaft member and rotatable member are centrally hollowed to allow a wire, which is used for electrical connection between the VTR section and the monitor image section, to be packaged such that it is drawn from the second casing through the hollow portions of the rotatable member and support shaft member into the first casing. Therefore, there is no possibility of the wire being nipped between the first and second casings during the operation of assembling the first and second casings, resulting in increased operating efficiency and facilitating the packaging operation of the wire. Since the wire is passed in the vicinity of the axis of rotation, a rotatable shaft mechanism …
