Abstract
A tape loading mechanism having a guide member provided on a pinch roller unit to prevent a cam follower provided on the pinch roller unit from coming off a cam groove, and capable of smoothly moving the pinch roller unit. A sliding face provided on the pinch roller unit moves sliding along the rim of a cam to impart rotating force to the pinch roller unit so that the pinch roller moves away from a capstan shaft, and therefore the pinch roller can be moved completely away from the capstan shaft.
