Abstract
A tape drawing-out mechanism for positioning a magnetic tape 91 as tensioned in a specified path of travel has a drive lever 6 having a cam follower 62 projecting therefrom, a tape drawing-out lever 5 having a tape drawing-out pin 51 for receiving the force of the drive lever 6 in a first step of a tape drawing-out movement, and an auxiliary lever 7 for receiving the force of the drive lever 6 in a second step of the tape drawing-out movement. The auxiliary lever 7 has a pin 71 projecting therefrom for pressing a face 54 provided on the tape drawing-out lever 5 to pivotally move the lever 5 to a tape drawing-out end position. The mechanism described precludes a great reaction from acting on the cam follower 62 and a cam groove 41 for giving a tape drawing-out drive force.
