Abstract
A system for bringing a wire-shaped or tape-shaped carrier into contact with a carrier guide member in a predetermined position includes carrier withdrawing guide members each movable between an operative position in which the carrier is brought into contact with the carrier guide member and an inoperative position in which the carrier is out of contact with the carrier guide member. A plurality of strip-shaped power transmitting members formed to be flexible and connected at one end thereof to the carrier withdrawing guide members respectively are each slidably fitted in one of guide grooves of a guide groove member formed as an insert on the base. A drive connected to a motor is in engagement with the strip-shaped power transmitting members to drive the same and move the carrier withdrawing guide members connected to the strip-shaped power transmitting members, whereby the carrier withdrawing guide members can be moved between the operative and inoperative positions.
