Abstract
A tape loading apparatus in a video tape recorder has first and second tape drawing mechanisms movably supported between an unloading position, in which they are accommodated within respective recesses in a tape cassette containing magnetic tape, and a loading position in which a portion of the magnetic tape is urged around a tape guide cylinder. At least one of the tape drawing mechanisms includes a tape drawing member and a tape guide member. A tape protective member for preventing any possible entry of a portion of the magnetic tape in between the tape drawing member and the tape guide member is mounted on top of the tape guide member so as to partially overhang the tape drawing member.
