Tape guide device for magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus

Abstract

A tape guide device for a magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus includes a pole base assembly to guide a tape supplied from a supply reel and passed through a predetermined path to be moved horizontally to a read surface of a head drum. The pole base assembly includes a pole base installed adjacently to or separately from one side of the head drum during a loading/unloading operation of the tape. The pole base assembly also includes a pole unit including a spiral flange inclined to the pole base to be in a horizontal direction to the read surface of the head drum, to guide the tape entering the head drum to be inclined at a predetermined angle and positioned in the horizontal direction to the read surface.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A tape guide device for a magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus, comprising: 
 a pole base assembly to guide a tape from a supply path to be moved in contact with a read surface of a head drum, wherein the pole base assembly comprises: 
 a pole base installed adjacently to or separately from one side of the head drum during a loading/unloading operation of the tape; and  
 a pole unit including a spiral flange inclined to the pole base, to guide the tape entering the head drum to be inclined at a predetermined angle.  
   
     
     
         2 . A tape guide device for a magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus, comprising: 
 a single guide pole to guide a tape to an entrance of a head drum provided on the tape guide device.
