Abstract: A tape cassette comprising a tape reel around which a tape-shaped recording medium is wound, a cassette shell in which the tape-shaped recording medium is accommodated, a mouth portion which is opened forwardly, upwardly and downwardly at the front portion of the cassette shell, a part of the tape-shaped recording medium being disposed so as to traverse the front end of said mouth portion, and a front lid which covers the front side of the tape-shaped recording medium and is moved backward when the lid is opened to made the front side of the tape-shaped recording medium open, thereby making the upper side of the mouth portion open.

Abstract: Disclosed is a cassette holder for inserting therein a tape cassette formed so that a front lid for opening and closing the front of a part of a tape-like recording medium located so as to traverse the front of a cassette shell accommodating therein tape reels having wound therearound the tape-like recording medium, the front lid is rotatable upward and movable rearward when the lid is opened to open the front of the tape-like recording medium, the cassette holder for mounting the tape cassette in a predetermined mounting position in a recording/playback apparatus. The cassette holder includes a lid-pressing member for pressing forward an end of the front lid when the tape cassette is to be removed from the cassette holder.

Abstract: The present invention provides a printing device capable of high-resolution reproduction of documentary images and ensuring satisfactory productivity. Specifically, the invention provides a printing device which ejects only ink or a printing device which mixes/ejects ink and diluent, both of which has at least the periphery of the nozzle member on the side upon which the nozzle opens its mouth made of polybenzimidazole or polyimide.

Abstract: A recording and reproducing apparatus for recording and reproducing a data signal on and from a magnetic tape includes a rotary head drum, first and second magnetic heads, third and fourth magnetic heads, a data processor, a data signal decoder, and controller. The magnetic tape is wrapped around the rotary head drum slanted at a predetermined angle. The first and second magnetic heads are provided on the rotary head drum at positions apart from each other by a predetermined rotational angle and have a first azimuth angle. The third and fourth magnetic heads are provided on the rotary head drum at positions apart from each other by a predetermined rotational angle and have a second azimuth angle different from the first azimuth angle. The data processor adds address data to each recording unit of a data signal and outputs the data signal as a recording signal.

Abstract: The rotary head device for recording and/or regenerating signals so as to form a plurality of inclined tracks parallel each other along the longitudinal direction of each recording region on and/or from a tape recording medium such as magnetic tape having two recording regions divided along the longitudinal direction of the tape recording medium has a rotation drum, rotationally driving means, and the first and second head components. The tape recording medium is wound around the rotation drum with a prescribed angle. The rotation drum is rotated by the rotationally driving means. The first head component is provided on any one side of top and bottom sides of the rotation drum. The first head component involves recording and/or regeneration of signals of one region of the two recording regions of the tape recording medium.

Abstract: A tape recorder for recording and/or reproducing information signals by relative sliding contact between a rotary magnetic head provided on the rotary head unit and a magnetic tape having information signals recorded on it.The tape recorder includes a rotary head unit having a rotary drum and a stationary drum coaxially mounted as and rotatably supporting the rotary drum. The rotary drum has a head mounted on it and is run in rotation for forcing the head into sliding contact with the tape-shaped recording medium run in one or the other direction. The tape recorder also includes a pair of supporting members rotatably supported by the rotary head unit, a pair of capstans rotatably supported by the rotary head unit, and a pair of pinch rolls arranged facing the capstans. The supporting members are rotated responsive to the running direction of the tape-shaped recording medium for selectively moving one of the capstans towards one of the pinch rolls.

Abstract: A cassette holder in a recording and/or reproducing apparatus for a magnetic tape cassette includes a pair of circular-arc shaped members which serves to deflect a front pivotal closure member of the magnetic tape cassette to its open position when the magnetic tape cassette is inserted into the cassette holder to be arranged at a fixed position, and a plate member which serves to deflect the front pivotal closure member to its closed position when the magnetic tape cassette arranged at the fixed position is taken out of the cassette holder. The cassette holder is formed by combining two sheet metal members with each other. One of the sheet metal members is integrally formed with the circular-arc shaped members, and the other sheet metal member is integrally formed with the plate member. When the magnetic tape cassette is arranged at the fixed position, the front pivotal closure member is received within a space between the circular-arc shaped member and the plate member.

Abstract: In a tape recording and/or reproducing apparatus having a head drum and a plurality of rotary elements including at least rotary heads associated with the head drum for recording and/or reproducing information signals on a magnetic tape wrapped around the head drum, a capstan for transporting the magnetic tape at a constant speed, and supply and take-up reel bases for engaging a pair of reels around which the magnetic tape is wound in a tape cassette and for driving the respective reels; a single motor is directly coupled to one of the rotary elements and drives the other rotary elements through a non-slip mechanical transmission for synchronously rotating at least the rotary heads, the capstan and the supply and take-up reel bases.

Abstract: A magnetic tape cassette of very small type having a front lid pivotably secured to the cassette housing so as to open or close a front opening portion, and a guide portion arranged on the front wall of the lid at an asymmetrical position so as to extend in the longitudinal direction. Thus, when a number of tape cassettes are accommodated within a cassette magazine, the guide portions function as a guide so that all the tape cassettes with tracks A and B aligned in the same direction can be accommodated within the cassette magazine. Also, the tape cassette of the invention can be positively loaded on a recording and/or reproducing apparatus from a desired surface side. Further, since the guide portion is formed on the lid, mechanical strength of the cassette housing can be prevented from being decreased and the indication label attaching area on the top wall of the cassette housing is prevented from being restricted.
