Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a cassette type chip lock.

Tape running and recording on conventional cassette tape decks,
In the operating device for controlling the playback operation, etc., an operating method using a so-called piano key set lever or push button which is operated in the vertical direction is adopted.

However, in any of these methods, the operating direction of each lever or button is the same and is independent of the running direction of the tape.

For this reason, when operating the lever or button, it is tedious and inconvenient to check the characters or marks indicating the function of each lever or button before making a selection.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object thereof is to provide a cassette-type tape deck having an operating device that allows accurate operation.

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a partially schematic perspective view of a cassette type tape deck according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a front view of the operating device in FIG. 1.

In the figure, a cassette half 1 is set by opening a cassette door 2 having a viewing window through which the inside can be viewed.

For example, four operating bars 3a, 3b, 3 are driven in parallel to the same plane as the cassette door 2.
C and 3d are arranged linearly parallel to the tape running direction.

These operation levers each control tape running, recording, playback operations, etc., and constitute the operation device 4 together with a switch mechanism (not shown) interlocked with the operation levers.

Operation levers 3a, 3b. 3C and 3d are configured to oscillate around a support shaft (not shown) that supports one point of the operating lever 3, for example, so that the driving direction is parallel to the tape running direction.

Additionally, this may be a sliding type that is interlocked with a swing type switch (not shown).

Next, each function of the operating lever configured as described above will be explained.

The operation lever 3a switches the tape between three states: rewind, stop, fast, and forward, and the neutral position is the stop state.

When the lever 3a is driven to the left, the tape is in the rewind state, and the tape runs from the right side to the left side in FIG.
When the lever 3a is driven in the right direction, the tape runs from the left to the right, and the direction in which the lever 3a is driven matches the direction in which the tape runs.

This lever 3a may be constructed using a non-locking method or a push-button method.

When the operating lever 3b is driven to the right, it enters a playback state, and the tape moves from the left side to the right side, and when returned to its original position, it enters a stopped state.

In addition, when entering the recording state, the operation levers 3b and 3C may be held in the hands and driven to the right and to the left, respectively.

When stopping, by bringing the lever 3b into a stopped state, the lever 3C is also linked and returned to its original position.

The operating lever 3d has a pause function, and may employ a push-button method in which it is locked by driving to the right and unlocked by pushing it to the right again.

As explained above, according to the cassette type tape deck according to the present invention, since the driving direction of the plurality of operation levers arranged linearly and parallel to the tape running direction coincides with the tape running direction, it is ergonomically improved. Sensation and operation match, allowing for agile and accurate operation.

Also, by changing the shape, arrangement, etc. of the operating lever, a tape deck with a new design can be obtained.
