In a cassette type recording and/or reproducing apparatus, such as an 8-mm VTR with a built-in camera, in which a tape cassette is so installed on a chassis as to have a pair of tape reels therein engaged with a pair of reel disks and then, a tape is drawn from the tape cassette by a tape loading means so as to be wound around a rotary head drum, the tape cassette is moved together with the reel disks toward the rotary head drum, after placed on the chassis on which the reel disks are provided, so that it becomes easy to make the cassette type recording and/or reproducing apparatus compact, while maintaining high tape-running stability and high recording and reproducing precisions. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION According to a first aspect of the present invention, a tape loading device comprises a fixed chassis on which a rotary head drum is mounted, and a slidable chassis on which a pair of reel disks are mounted, wherein the slidable chassis is slidably mounted on the fixed chassis so that the pair of reel disks can be moved toward or away from the rotary head drum; after a tape cassette is installed on the movable chassis and a pair of tape reels therein engage the pair of reel disks, the tape casette is moved by means of the slidable chassis toward the rotary head drum; and a tape in the tape cassette is wound around the rotary head drum by a tape loading means.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, a tape loading apparatus comprises a fixed chassis on which a rotary head drum is mounted, and a slidable chassis on which a pair of reel disks and a pair of guide rails for guiding tape loading means are arranged, wherein the slidable chassis is slidably mounted on the fixed chassis so that the pair of reel disks can be moved toward or away from the rotary head drum; after a tape cassette is installed on the slidable chassis and the pair of tape reels therein are engaged with the pair of reel disks, the tape cassette is moved by means of the slidable chassis toward the rotary head drum; and a tape in the tape cassette is wound around the rotary head drum by the tape loading means guided by the guide rails.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a tape cassette is initially placed at a sufficient distance from a rotary head drum, so that the tape cassette or a tape therein does not contact the rotary head drum and they are not damaged by each other.
Furthermore, in the present invention, the rotary head drum is immovable, fixed in position, and the pair of reel disks and the tape cassette mounted thereon are moved toward the rotary head drum by a slidable chassis.
The distance between the tape cassette and rotary head drum can be greatly decreased during normal operation despite maintaining high tape-running stability and high recording and reproducing precisions
