Abstract
A rotary transmitting mechanism for an auto-reverse tape recorder having a change-over gear and associated charge-over supporting member disposed on the head-mounting plate is provided. The mechanism utilizes motor driven left and right transmission gears, a change-over gear supporting member movably supported on the head-mounting plate, and a change-over plate movably mounted on the upper surface of the chasis. When the change-over plate moves in either a left- or right-hand direction, the change-over gear supporting member is likewise moved to allow the change-over gear to be separated from the reel gear and transmission gear on one side while meshing with the other side's reel gear and transmission gear. To elastically absorb the excess movement of the change-over plate, the change-over gear supporting member has two elastic arms protruding from both sides. By providing such a mechanism, more efficiently and lower cost are obtained.
