To provide a winding appearance inspection device of a tape capable of gathering a line speed in an inspection process, as well as capable of inspecting a winding appearance of the tape wound on a roll body core, even in a reel having a flange formed in a roll body core (a roll body core). Winding appearance inspection device 10 serves as a device that evaluates the winding appearance of the tape such as film T or the like wound on roll body core H, comprising light projector 12 that irradiates a light along winding surface S of the tape such as film T or the like that at least partially passes near the roll body core H, and receiver 13 that receives the light.

A sensing assembly for use in determining if magnetic tape within a single reel tape cartridge properly connects to a takeup reel within a tape drive during loading of the tape cartridge, so that the magnetic tape can be wound between the tape cartridge and the tape drive as data is transferred to or from the magnetic tape. The sensing assembly comprises at least one sensing apparatus for providing feedback on connection status to prevent connection failures from rendering the tape drive inoperable.

Method and apparatus for loading a cassette tape which has a detectable end includes structure and steps for detecting the detectable end of the tape. Structure and steps are also provided for determining a specific point in the course of tape loading where the length of the tape drawn out of the cassette becomes shorter than the length of the tape capable of being drawn out of the cassette after the initiation of detecting the detectable end of the tape. Structure and steps are also provided for continuing the tape loading operation and stopping the tape end detection operation after the specific point on the tape is determined.

A reel position-detecting device for use in a magnetic tape drive unit, designed to determine whether or not a supply reel has been positioned upside down in a retainer. When reel-detecting means detects that the supply reel has been set in the retainer, the retainer is rotated in the opposite direction to the tape-supply direction. If tape supply-detecting means detects the magnetic tape and then ceases to detect the tape within a predetermined period, processing means determines that the supply reel has been correctly positioned. Otherwise, the processing means determines that the supply reel has been positioned upside down.

A switch assembly is provided for a tape drive adapted to receive a tape cartridge. The assembly comprises a housing, first and second switches fixedly mounted on the housing, and first and second plungers mounted for reciprocal movement on the housing to actuate the first and second switches, respectively. The housing includes three orthogonal reference surfaces, all of which engage the tape drive to locate the assembly in proper relationship to the tape drive. The plungers are responsive to the tape cartridge to actuate the first switch when the tape cartridge is properly mounted on the drive and to actuate the second switch when the tape cartridge is not write-protected. The assembly may include a light source and a light-responsive switch which, together with a reflector in the tape cartridge, cooperate to detect position-indicating tape apertures.

A video tape recorder comprises a loading disc, a supply reel mount and a take-up reel mount, a reel mount driving device to be selectively associated with the supply reel mount and the take-up reel mount to establish recording, playback, rewinding, fast-forward, and stop modes, and a mode switching device for selectively transmitting the rotatory force of the motor to the loading disc and the reel mount driving device so that the loading disc is rotated when the rotatory force is transmitted to the loading disc, and that the reel mount driving device is set to a selected one of said modes when the rotatory force is transmitted to the reel mount driving device.
摘要:
An auto-reverse type tape recorder for a cassette having a side A and side B in which a side A playback mode, side B playback mode, side A fast mode and side B fast mode can be directly designated at an operation-designating section irrespective of the direction in which the cassette is loaded into the tape recorder. The operation-designating section has operation members for designating the side A playback mode, side B playback mode, side A fast mode and side B fast mode. The tape recorder further includes a cassette loading direction detector responsive to a side-discriminating portion, such as a cutout or recess, provided on a predetermined side of the cassette and a switch circuit responsive to the side-discriminating portion to switch a connection between the output terminals of the operation-designating section and the control input terminals of a motor control circuit.
摘要:
A cassette tape player-recorder of slot-in type which includes first detecting means for detecting the insertion of cassette into the slot, second detecting means for detecting correct placement of the inserted cassette at the operable position, a reset signal generator for producing a reset signal when a time longer than a predetermined period lapses from the insertion of the cassette into the slot until the correct positioning of the cassette at the operable position, and a cassette eject controller for ejecting the cassette in response to the reset signal. The cassette tape player-recorder can avoid malfunction thereof and damage of the cassette.

An apparatus for running magnetic tapes has three projecting pins each of which has a cylindrical portion and a free end portion. The three projecting pins hold at the cylindrical portions thereof a tape cassette containing a roll of magnetic tape selectively in a first position and second position which is closer to the free end portion than the first position. On the cylindrical portion of one of three projecting pins a first flange is provided for selectively preventing the tape cassette from moving from the first position to the second position. On the cylindrical portion of each of three projecting pins a second flange is provided for selectively preventing the tape cassette from being released from the three projecting pins. The apparatus also comprises a displacement member moved by the cassette when the cassette is moved between the first and the second position and a power switch connected to a motor for running the tape. The power switch sets the motor to the tape-running mode when the cassette moves from the second to the first position and to the tape-stop mode when the cassette moves from the first to the second position.

Cassettes of recording tape are provided with an electronic memory including semi-conductor circuits mounted in the cassette housing for storing data relating to the cassette or tape therein. A memory error signal device is also provided in the cassette housing having states representing that data stored on the cassette memory has an error or no error. Devices for a tape deck apparatus for cooperation with the cassette memory circuits and error signal device are also disclosed.
