Abstract
The magnetic tape unit comprises a take-up reel for winding a magnetic tape thereon, a threader pin from which a leader block connected to a front end of the magnetic tape housed in a cartridge is suspended, a threader arm to which the threader pin is attached in order to lead the leader block from the tape exit of the cartridge up to the inside of the take-up reel by leading the threader pin from the tape exit of the cartridge up to the rotation center of the take-up reel, and an elastic body for restricting the play of the position of the threader arm by an elastic force so that the threader pin present at the rotation center of the take-up reel does not shift from the rotation center.
