  • Recording and/or reproducing apparatus for a record carrier in tape form
    Patent number: 4936524
    Abstract: A recording and/or reproducing apparatus (1) for a record carrier (12) in tape form which extends between two hubs (10, 11) has, for driving the two hubs, two winding spindles (16, 17) which are each connected to one winding spindle wheel (22, 23). For driving the two winding spindle wheels (22, 23) peripherally, the apparatus (1) has a drive wheel (21) which can be motor-driven in opposite directions of rotation. For alternatively driving the two winding spindle wheels (22, 23) the drive wheel is displaceable between two operating positions. When its direction of rotation is changed, the drive wheel is automatically displaced from one to the other operating position, whereby for its displacement the drive wheel (21) rolls peripherally along an associated rolling surface (73) which is provided on a roller member (51).
