Abstract
An automatic stopping mechanism for a tape feeding device which can detect an end of a tape to operate while the tape feeding device is in any of reproducing, recording, fast feeding and rewinding modes. In any operation mode, a driving route from a motor to a reel receiver is effective to tend to continuously rotate the reel receiver. Upon stopping of the reel receiver by an end of a tape, a rockable member is rocked to and remains at a position at which rotation of an cam disk interposed in the driving route is stopped by the rockable member and then a releasing member on which the cam disk is mounted is pivoted to move the cam disk out of the driving route, thereby stopping rotation of the reel receiver. Upon such pivotal motion of the releasing member, an arresting member is moved away from a position in which an operation mode setting operating member is arrested to its arrested position, thereby allowing the operating member and the arresting member to return to respective home positions to cancel the set operation mode.
