A joined metal-resin plate body having a metal plate (,) and a resin plate (,) joined together, in which an insert member having a through-hole therein is embedded in the resin plate. The insert member is in close contact with the resin of the resin plate in the outer periphery of the insert member except for the faces where the through-hole opens. The metal plate has a metallic joining member (,) adhered thereto. The resin plate is joined to the metal plate with the aid of the joining member fitted in the through-hole. The insert member and the surrounding resin have elastic stresses (F,, F,), which give rise to a sufficient joining strength among the joining member, the insert member and the resin plate. The stress of the surrounding resin is due to elastic deformation. The amount (V,-V,) of the elastic deformation is smaller than the amount (V,) of deformation of the insert member which can give rise to an elastic stress (F,) of the insert member.

Method of making a swing actuator

Joined metal-resin plate body, swing-type actuator made using the same, and processes for producing these

A magnetic recording/playback apparatus in which rotational torque from the drive shaft of a single motor is capable of being transmitted to a cassette loading mechanism and a tape loading mechanism includes a worm secured to the drive shaft and a worm wheel for being meshed freely with the worm, the worm wheel being provided with a toothless portion. The drive shaft is coupled to the cassette loading mechanism via the worm wheel. During operation of the tape loading mechanism by the drive shaft, the toothless portion of the worm wheel is brought into position opposite the worm wheel so that a driving force is no longer applied to the cassette loading mechanism. When a cassette is ejected, the toothless portion of the worm wheel is shifted after a tape loading operation, thereby reengaging the worm wheel and worm to actuate the cassette loading mechanism.
