Abstract:
A tape winding device provided on an apparatus body and engaged with a long tape-like material winding reel of a tape cassette set on the apparatus body for transmitting a drive force from a drive source of the apparatus body to the reel, comprising:a first rotating body engaged with the reel for driving the reel in a winding direction;a second rotating body engaged with the reel for driving the reel in said winding direction;a first rotational shaft having a first support which non-rotatably thrust-fits to said first rotating body and having a first abutting portion which abuts slidably on a first frictional member;a second rotating shaft rotatably fitted over said first rotational shaft and having a second support which non-rotatably thrust-fits to said second rotating body and having a second abutting portion which abuts slidably on a second frictional member;a relay member pressed against said first abutting portion through said first frictional member and pressed against said second abutting portion through said second frictional member for transmitting the drive force from the drive source of the apparatus body to said first and second rotational shafts; anda biasing member disposed between said relay member and said second rotating body for separating said relay member and said second rotating body from each other and for biasing said relay member against said first and second abutting portions through said first and second frictional members.
