Abstract: A pressure device for a pinch roller of a VCR, which includes a pinch lever connected to a function plate which is mounted on the lower portion of a main chassis to be enabled to make reciprocating movement, a pinch arm connected to pinch lever, whereby when the function plate moves the pinch lever to rotate and this rotation is directly transmitted to the pinch arm so that a pinch roller is pressed against a capstan shaft by a predetermined pressure. Therefore, the pressure device of the present invention is simple in structure, effectively improves the operation thereof and remarkably reduces size of the VCR having the pressure device.
