Abstract
A VCR (Video Cassette Tape Recorder) deck tape loading mechanism comprising a first cam gear driven by a loading motor, and a second cam gear, and a loading gear, moving in response to the movement of the first cam gear. The first cam gear drives a pinch lever to a loading position and the second cam gear drives a take up arm so as to make it possible for the take up arm to guide the pinch lever. The loading gear drives a slant base to move along a rail on a base so that the tape is able to take the most optimum path because each moving part can move smoothly in sequence without interference from one another due to the independent movement of the pinch lever and the take up lever. A thinner model of the mechanism is made available by placing first cam gear and second cam gear on the bottom of main base and cam lever and take up lever above them.
