Abstract:
A capstan drive assembly for a cartridge type tape player includes a hollow capstan shaft member attached at one end to a flywheel for rotation therewith. The capstan shaft member receives, through the opposite end thereof, a support shaft extending upwardly from a base member fixedly mounted on the base wall of the cartridge tape player deck. A bearing surface member within the hollow capstan shaft engages the support shaft to minimize friction. The hollow shaft and flywheel are driven rotatably on the support shaft by a drive motor coupled to the flywheel by a drive belt or the like. In one embodiment, the free end of the hollow capstan shaft engages a thrust washer or bearing surface on the base member for rotation thereon. In another embodiment, a bearing ball is placed in a recess at the free end of the support shaft and the capstan and flywheel are supported thereon.
