Abstract
Disclosed is an automatic stop mechanism for a tape recorder comprising a circular member having a driving pin, a swing member hinged onto a main board of the recorder, a driving member which can make the swing member push a locking level to move transversely, and a torsion spring member configured to make the end portion of the driving arm cling to the periphery of the cam when a stop button of the tape recorder is pressed down. The automatic stop mechanism can achieve the automatic stop in every work state.
Claims13
An automatic stop mechanism for a tape recorder, comprising
- a circular member being disposed at one end of a take-up reel and having a driving pin extended longitudinally from the circumference thereof;
- a swing member hinged onto a main board of the tape recorder, having
- a shaft,
- a sensing arm that can rotate around the shaft,
- a hole provided at one end of the arm, which receives the driving pin, and
- a driving arm extended from the shaft, having an end portion,
- wherein the driving pin moves in an arc track within the hole to apply a force to the swing member so as to generate a torque in one direction;
- a driving member disposed onto an end surface of a flywheel driven by a motor, which can make the driving arm push a locking level to move transversely, comprising:
- a cam being located onto the end surface of a flywheel and being coaxial therewith, and
- a block located at a side of the cam that forms a channel with the block to allow the end portion of the driving arm to slide therethrough;
- and
- a torsion spring member configured to make the end portion of the driving arm cling to the periphery of the cam when a stop button of the tape recorder is pressed down.
