Abstract
A tape loading device for use in a recording or reproducing apparatus has a first turning member having a tape guide which is kept in contact with a tape during running thereof and being turnable according to the tension of the tape, a second turning member for causing the first turning member to turn by its turning operation and loading the tape guide into a predetermined position, and a driving part for turning the second turning member. An urging member having two end portions is provided on the second turning member with the two end portions supported individually. The urging member is arranged so that only when the first turning member is located within a predetermined turning range, one of the two end portions is brought into engagement with an engagement part fixed to the driving part so that the urging member can generate an urging force for the first turning member.
