Changer apparatus for information discs

In a recording and/or reproducing device ( ) for a cassette ( ) having a coupling element ( ) connected to its magnetic tape ( ) a pull-out element ( ) has been provided, which is constructed to be coupled to the coupling element ( ) and to pull the coupling element ( ) out of the cassette ( ) in a pull-out direction ( ), and which is retained with the aid of a retaining member ( ), which is movable between a standby position and an operating position, namely in a nominal position with respect to the retaining member ( ) when it is not coupled to the coupling element ( ), and after it has been coupled to the coupling element ( ) is movable to a take-up reel ( ) with the aid of a pull-out tape ( ) and, when the retaining member ( ) is situated in the area of its operating position, is retained so as to be movable with respect to the retaining member ( ) against the pull-out direction ( ) and which, when the retaining member ( ) is moved from its operating position into its standby position, is movable into its nominal position with respect to the retaining member ( ) in the undesirable situation that it does not occupy the nominal position.

Recording and/or reproducing device having a pull-out element and having means for moving the pull-out element into its nominal position

In a recording and/or reproducing device ( ) for a cassette ( ) having a coupling element ( ) connected to the magnetic tape ( ) a pull-out element ( ) has been provided, which is constructed to be coupled to the coupling element ( ) and to pull the coupling element ( ) out of the cassette ( ) in a pull-out direction ( ), and which has a rotationally drivable take-up reel ( ) having a reel hub ( ), and which has a pull-out element ( ) constructed to be coupled to the coupling element ( ) and to pull the coupling element ( ) out of the cassette ( ), which pull-out element is retained with the aid of a retaining member ( ), which is movable between a standby position and an operating position, namely in a nominal position with respect to the retaining member ( ) when it is not coupled to the coupling element ( ), and after it has been coupled to the coupling element ( ) is movable to a take-up reel ( ) with the aid of a pull-out tape ( ) and, when the retaining member ( ) is situated in the area of its operating position, is retained so as to be movable with respect to the retaining member ( ) against the pull-out direction ( ) and, during coupling to the coupling element ( ) is movable towards the coupling element ( ) against the pull-out direction ( ) with the aid of an actuating roller ( ).

Recording and/or reproducing device having a pull-out element which is movable to a cassette-mounted coupling element against a pull-out direction

A recording and/or reproducing device including a cassette, which contains a magnetic tape and a coupling pin connected to the magnetic tape. The cassette can be loaded into the device. The device includes a pull-out element which can be coupled to the coupling element so as to form a pull-out assembly. The pull-out assembly can be moved to a reel hub of a take-up reel. A tangential positioning means is provided between the reel hub and the pull-out assembly for tangentially positioning the pull-out assembly on the reel hub.

Recording and/or reproducing device having a take-up reel and having a tape pull-out assembly which can be positioned tangentially with respect to the take-up reel

A recording and/or reproducing device. A cassette, which contains a magnetic tape and a coupling element connected to the magnetic tape, can be loaded into the device. The device includes a pull-out element which can be coupled to the coupling element so as to form a pull-out assembly. The pull-out assembly can be moved to the reel hub of a take-up reel. A radial positioning structure is provided between the reel hub and the pull-out assembly. The radial positioning structure is formed by two projecting portions, of which a first projecting portion projects from the reel hub and the second projecting portion projects from the pull-out assembly.

Recording and/or reproducing device having a take-up reel and having a tape pull-out assembly which can be positioned radially with respect to the take-up reel

A recording and/or reproducing device. A cassette, which contains a magnetic tape and a coupling pin connected to the magnetic tape, can be loaded into the device. The device includes a pull-out element which can be coupled to the coupling element. The pull-out element can be held in order to be coupled to the coupling element with the aid of a retaining structure and is disengageable by the retaining structure after coupling. A latch is provided by which a disengagement of the pull-out element by the retaining structure can be inhibited or enabled, and the latch is constructed for cooperation with the coupling element. The latching is only enabled to disengage the pull-out element by the retaining structure when the coupling element is correctly coupled to the pull-out element.
