Abstract
An apparatus for use with a tape recorder having a support member which supports a tape supply shaft and providing an indication of a tape end through its displacement which occurs in response to an increase in the tape tension as the tape reaches its terminal end, and also having a review/rewind actuating member which may be operated to change the direction of tape feed to run the tape in a rewind direction. The apparatus comprises a detent member which is operated as the review/rewind actuating member is operated to move into the path of movement of the support member to prevent its displacement, thereby inhibiting the detection of a tape end during a review or rewind operation.
