Abstract: An automatic tape ejecting device for a tape rewinding apparatus responsive to an increase of the tension difference between the tight side strand and the slack side strand of the transmission belt which drives the pulley to perform the tape rewinding. The change of tension difference is sensed by at least one small pulley which is arranged in the running path of the transmission belt to increase the tension thereof. The motor is driven in such direction that the tight side strand will be tightened while the slack side strand will slip in the small pulley upon the winding spindle being precluded from rotation, consequently, the increased tension on the tight side strand will initiate the cassette compartment lid ejection action and turn off the switch.

Abstract: A tape rewinding apparatus for the video cassette comprising a built-in tape end detecting member which will detect the tape end and generate an electric signal; an ejecting solenoid actuated by said electric signal to start the cassette eject operation; and an electronic control circuit for automatically cutting the power supply.
