- (F) control means for controlling said drive means, to deactivate the drive means at an overdriven condition relative to the stoppage of said wrapping means at said predetermined position so that a rotational moment is exerted on the wrapping means through said rod member and the wrapping means is firmly secured relative to said restriction means at the predetermined position.
- 2. The apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:
- guide means for guiding said wrapping means around said cylindrical means to said predetermined position, wherein said restriction means is provided on a portion of said guide means.
- 3. The apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said carriage member is movably engaged with said guide means, and moves along said guide means, and wherein said rod member is connected to said movable carriage member such that when said rod member rotates said movable carriage member also rotates, and said rotation moment is exerted on the movable carriage member to firmly secure the movable carriage member relative to said restriction means.
- 4. The apparatus according to claim 3, wherein said rod member is connected to said drive means such that said rod member rotates in correspondence to the movement of said drive means.
- 5. The apparatus according to claim 3, wherein said movable carriage member has a contact surface which contacts said restriction means at a right angle to the movement direction of said movable carriage member.
- 6. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said drive means includes a ring shaped member rotatable around said cylindrical means.
- 7. An apparatus according to claim 6, wherein said rod member is arranged almost vertical to the rotation direction of said ring shaped member.
- 8. An apparatus according to claim 7, wherein said ring shaped member has a drive portion for driving said movable carriage member, and is loosely connected to said drive means through said drive portion.
- 9. A recording and/or reproducing apparatus arranged to use a belt shaped record bearing medium, comprising:
- (A) recording and/or reproducing means including:
- head means for the recording signals on and/or reproducing recorded signals from the record bearing medium, and cyllindrical means for guiding the record bearing medium relative to said head means;
- (B) wrapping means for wrapping the record bearing medium about said cylindrical means, said wrapping means including at least one wrapping member and a movable carriage member for carrying said wrapping member;
- (C) drive means for moving said wrapping means around said cylindrical means to a predetermined position by moving said movable carriage member;
- (D) guide means for guiding said wrapping means which is movably engaged with said guide means;
- (E) restriction means for restricting said wrapping means at said predetermined position;
- (F) connecting means for operatively connecting said wrapping means and said drive means, said connecting means including a rod member being loosely connected with said movable carriage member and being connected to said drive means, and said rod member being arranged to cause the distance between connection points on said rod member connecting between said movable carriage member and said drive means respectively to vary when said wrapping means reaches said predetermined position in accordance with the movement of said drive means; and
- (G) control means for controlling said drive means, said control means being arranged to deactivate the drive means at an overdriven condition relative to the stoppage of said wrapping means at said predtermined position so that a moment is exerted on the wrapping means through said rod member and the wrapping means is firmly secured relative to said restriction means at the predetermined position.
- 10. The apparatus according to claim 9, wherein said guide means has a portion inclined at a predetermined angle to said drive means.
- 11. The apparatus according to claim 9, wherein said rod member is arranged so as to make longest the distance between the connection points on the movable carriage member and said drive means respectively when said wrapping means reaches said predetermined position.
- 12. An apparatus according to claim 9, wherein said drive means includes a ring shaped member rotatable around said cylindrical means.
- 13. An apparatus according to claim 12, wherein said rod member is arranged almost vertical to the rotation direction of said ring shaped member.
- 14. An apparatus according to claim 13, wherein said ring shaped member has a drive portion for driving said movable carriage member and is connected to said drive means through said drive portion.
- 15. A magnetic tape recording and/or reproducing apparatus arranged to use a magnetic tape housed in a cassette, comprising:
- (A) a drum assembly provided with rotatable magnetic heads for recording signals on and/or reproducing recorded signals from the tape;
- (B) at least one tape wrapping member for pulling out the tape from the cassette and for wrapping the pulled out tape about said drum assembly;
- (C) a movable carriage member for carrying said wrapping member;
- (D) a ring shaped member rotatable around said drum assembly, said ring shaped member having a drive portion for driving said movable carriage member;
- (E) a guide member for guiding said carriage member around said drum assembly to a predetermined position, and said guide member has a portion inclined at a predetermined angle to said ring shaped member;
- (F) restriction means for restricting said movable carriage member at said predetermined position;
- (G) a rod shaped member for operatively connecting said movable carriage member and said ring shaped member, said rod shaped member being connected to said movable carriage member in such a manner that when said rod shaped member rotates said movable carriage member also rotates, said rod shaped member being loosely connected with said drive portion of said ring shaped member and said rod shaped member being arranged to cause the distance between connection points on said rod shaped member connecting between said movable carriage member and said drive portion of said ring shaped member respectively to vary when said movable carriage member reaches said predetermined position in accordance with the movement of said ring shaped member;
- (H) a motor for rotating said ring shaped member around said drum assembly; and
- (I) a control circuit for controlling said motor, said control circuit being arranged to stop the motor at an overdriven condition of said ring shaped member relative to the stoppage of said movable carriage member at said predetermined position.
- 16. The apparatus according to claim 15, wherein said rod shaped member is arranged to make longest the distance between the connection points of said movable carriage member and said drive portion of said ring shaped member respectively when said motor stops.
- 17. The apparatus according to claim 15, wherein said rod shaped member starts to rotate when said movable carriage member reaches the inclined portion said guide member.
- 18. An apparatus according to claim 15, wherein said wrapping member includes a rotatable roller.
