Abstract
In a tape loading device in which a tape is drawn from a mounted tape cassette and loaded on a tape path which lies in front of the mounted tape cassette, a big capstan which is arranged in front of the mounted tape cassette is inserted into a space formed between the mounted tape cassette and a portion of the tape which has been loaded on the tape path, from a position where the big capstan does not interfere with the tape which is moved to the tape path, so that it is possible to make the diameter and length of the capstan large.
