Abstract

1,222,363. Cassette players. MOLINS MACHINE CO. Ltd. and R. H. G. RAINE. 3 May, 1968 [5 May, 1967], No. 21110/67. Heading G5R. A selected tape cassette is ejected from a random, toroidal store, transferred to a tapetensioning and rewind station then to a playing station and after use back to the first station, then reinserted into the store. In Fig. 1, the store 10 is rotated by rollers 11 until the desired cassette 12 is detected by » head » 18, each cassette being coded by magnetic or other blocks to actuate reed relays or microswitches respectively in the head 18. A plunger 19a ejects the cassette to a carrier 23 which then transfers the cassette from position B to A where the tape is tensioned at 21 by counterrotating spindles. The carrier retracts and the device 22 rotates about axis 26 to position the cassette at C whereupon the carrier moves the cassette to position D where it is transduced by a playing device 20. During this time, the cassette which was at D is now at A and is rewound at station 21 and reloaded into the store 10 by plunger 19b. The cassettes have ribs 16 to permit loading and handling. The store stops after one revolution and a lamp is lit if the selected cassette is not available. In a modification (Fig. 3, not shown), the cassette carriers 24, 25 are merely rotatable while the player 20 and winding device 21 are movable to engage and disengage with the cassettes. The store consists of grooved rollerdriven bevel wheels carried on a subframe 208 (Fig. 4) removable on castors 210 from the main enclosure 205. The cassettes are detected by » head » 220, while microswitches 221, 222 engage in detents 216 to ensure correct identification and that the store stops with the desired cassette opposite the ejection plunger 237. The plunger is operated by a chain 232 driven by a sprocket on the shaft of motor 230. A reversible motor 243 rotates a shaft 242 carrying face cams 240, 241 operating followers A, C to shift the tape winding device 202 and player 201 while a follower B on cam 241 locks the player in its operational position. Two cam and link devices 256 on the shaft 242 rotate the cassette carriers to bring them into operative association with the player 201 and winding device 202. Closure of an outer door 207 operates microswitches to give a » stand by» signal and to lock the subframe 208 against vibration &c.
