Abstract
A magnetic tape guide mechanism for a magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus which includes a base having a large-inner-diameter hole with a larger inner diameter than a shaft hole, and a resilient synthetic resin member located in the large-inner-diameter hole and surrounding the shaft of a tape guide. As a result, a horizontally extended threaded hole and fixing screw conventionally required are eliminated and the overall construction is simplified. Moreover, the adjustment work is facilitated and the overall production cost of the components are substantially reduced.
Claims2
A magnetic tape guide mechanism for a magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus, the magnetic tape guide comprising:
- a magnetic tape guide having a cylindrical rotary roller for conveying a magnetic tape drawn out from a cassette in a state where the magnetic tape is would around a rotary cylinder with a magnetic head mounted thereon at a predetermined angle, said magnetic tape guide further having at least a shaft of said rotary roller and a threaded portion fixed to said shaft;
- a base on which said magnetic tape guide is retained, said base having a shaft hole into which said shaft is inserted, a larger-inner-diameter hole having a larger inner diameter than said shaft hole, and a threaded hole into which said threaded portion of said magnetic tape guide is threaded;
- and
- a substantially cylindrical resilient member located in said large-inner-diameter hole and surrounding said shaft.
