Abstract
A recording and/or reproducing apparatus (1), for a record carrier (2) in tape form which extends between two rotatingly driveable hubs (4, 5), has two winding spindles (10, 11) for driving the hubs, each of the winding spindles being connected to one drive wheel (12, 13). For braking the two drive wheels (12, 13), a braking device (30) is provided which has a carrier (33) displaceable perpendicularly to a plane (34) through the axes (31, 32) of the two drive wheels (12, 13) and having two braking surfaces (39, 40) for the two drive wheels. The carrier (33) is of frame-shaped design and has two carrier portions (35, 36) passing through the plane (34) through the axes (31, 32) of the two drive wheels (12, 13), each of which carrier portions is arranged so as to run laterally along one of the two drive wheels (12, 13) outside the region between the two drive wheels (12, 13).
