Claim:
A moving deck plate for a tape recorder, comprising: a main chassis with a head drum assembly mounted thereon; a sub-chassis slidably moving toward the head drum assembly on the main chassis upon loading of a tape cassette; a drum base on which the head drum assembly is mounted, integrally formed with the main chassis and slantingly protruding toward one side thereof; a pair of stationary guide rails integrally protruding from both sides of the drum base; a pair of movable guide rails provided at the sub-chassis and docked to the pair of stationary guide rails to form a moving path along which a pair of pole bases move to draw a magnetic tape from the tape cassette; and a first bridge-type reinforcing rib to couple a respective one of the stationary guide rails to the drum base, the respective one of the stationary guide rails having a substantially planar shape, and the first bridge-type reinforcing rib being relatively thin in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the respective stationary guide rail.
