摘要:
A tape supplying and taking up apparatus is capable of use with either large or small size tape cassettes containing reels which can be of different diameters and rotated with a high degree of accuracy my means of reel spindles (51) of simple structure. Each tape cassette for use with the apparatus has a shutter (22; 45) of the slide type for closing access holes (23; 31) in the bottom wall of the cassette casing (2; 26). Each of the reel spindles (51) has a large size cassette receiving portion (52a) for receiving a tape reel of a large size tape cassette coaxial with a small size cassette receiving portion (52b) for receiving a tape reel of a small size tape cassette. The small size cassette receiving portion is smaller in diameter and disposed at a higher position than the large size cassette receiving portion. The diameter of a lower end of a reel spindle engaging hole (39) provided in each reel hub (36) of the small tape cassette is smaller than the outer diameter of the small size cassette receiving portion of the reel spindle. The reel spindle engaging hole (16) of the large size tape cassette has, at a lower end portion thereof, an escape portion which is greater in diameter than the outer diameter of the small size cassette receiving portion of the reel spindle but smaller than the outer diameter of the large size cassette receiving portion and such escape portion is higher than the height of the small size tape receiving portion.

摘要:
A display apparatus connected to a recording medium cassette having a recording medium, a cassette case for accommodating the recording medium, a storage device for storing recording information recorded on the recording medium and information about the cassette itself, and a plurality of terminals for connecting the storage device to external equipment. This display apparatus comprises a loading portion for loading the recording medium cassette, a connector provided on the loading portion to be connected with the plurality of terminals, a reading device for reading the information from the storage device through the connector, and a display device for displaying the information read by the reading device. Simply connecting the plurality of terminals of the recording medium cassette to the connector of the recording/reproducing apparatus allows to display the recording information about the recording medium cassette, thus providing recorded contents of the recording medium cassette quickly and easily as well as facilitating retrieval and management of the recorded contents.
摘要:
A recording/reproducing apparatus (19) for recording information on and reproducing recorded information from the recording medium of a recording medium cassette (1) comprises a cassette identifying circuit (49) capable of identifying a first recording medium cassette provided with an IC plate (4) provided with an IC chip (15; 47) and a plurality of terminals (5) connected to the IC chip (15; 47) in a specified circuit pattern representing information about the first recording medium cassette and a second recording medium cassette provided with a terminal plate (16) provided with a plurality of terminals (17) connected in a specified circuit pattern representing information about the second recording medium cassette. The cassette identifying circuit (49) identifies the first (second) recording medium cassette automatically on the basis of voltage signals that appear at the plurality of terminals (5 (17)) of the first (second) recording medium cassette when the first (second) recording medium cassette is inserted in the recording/reproducing apparatus (19) to enable the user to use the first and second recording medium cassettes indiscriminately.
