Abstract
A tape player for controlling movement of tape disposed on at least one reel of a tape cartridge, the reel defining a hole therethrough. The tape player is provided with a moving member adapted for cooperation with the hole for rotating the reel, the moving member being rotatable about an axis and slidable along the axis. A mechanism rotates the moving member. The rotating mechanism and the moving member are coupled together when the moving member is slid in one direction. As a result, the tape player is operated by the moving member passing through the hole.
