Abstract

A tape loading apparatus having a first swinging arm. When a loading pin of the first swinging arm is elastically pressed against a positioning stopper at a loading position by an elastic force of a spring member, a joint portion of the first swinging arm maintains bent attitude having an angle smaller than 180° and no-tooth portion of a loading gear is in contact with a no-tooth portion of a mode gear. Even in case where a reactive force of the spring member causes the loading gear to generate a rotation force, the rotation force is received by a shaft member supporting the mode gear.
