Abstract
A magnetic tape pullout apparatus adapted to pull out an end portion of a magnetic tape by attaching a circumferential surface of a wound magnetic tape, and provided with a tape pullout jig which is disposed so that a front end portion thereof can touch an outer circumferential surface of a wound magnetic tape, and which has on the lower side of this front end portion an attachment portion for attaching the magnetic tape thereto, a support member adapted to rotatably support the tape pullout jig in the radial direction of the wound magnetic tape, and a slide mechanism adapted to move the support member in the tangential direction of the wound magnetic tape.
Claims15
An apparatus comprising:
- a tape pullout jig having a front end portion and a suction portion disposed on a contact surface of the front end portion, the suction portion attracting an outer circumferential surface of a wound magnetic tape via a suction force, and the contact surface coming into contact with the wound magnetic tape;
- a support member that supports the tape pullout jig so that the tape pullout jig is capable of moving in a radial direction of the wound magnetic tape;
- and
- a slide mechanism that moves the support member in a direction of a tangent drawn from a contact point where the front end portion of the tape pullout jig comes into contact with the outer circumferential surface of the wound magnetic tape;
- wherein the tape pullout jig has a wedge shape tapering off from a base portion thereof toward the front end portion thereof.
