Abstract
An interval detection and drive mechanism for a cassette tape recorder is disclosed which comprises an electrical circuit for detecting the interval between recorded tunes in the tape; tape drive control means shiftable between a fast forward or rewind state and a playback state; a lock plate associated with the detecting circuit and with the playback, fast forward and rewind levers; and means for moving the playback lever to the playback position. Upon detection of the interval between tunes during the fast forward or rewind operation, the detecting circuit delivers a detection signal such that the control means is shifted from the fast forward or rewind state to the playback state and the playback lever is moved to the playback position. The tape recorder is changed into the playback operation which is visually represented by the retracted playback lever.
