Abstract:
Guide elements for magnetic tapes wound or to be wound in the form of packs on flangeless spools, the guide elements being movable in the plane of rotation of the packs. At least part of the guide elements is located between the pack and the outermost winding and thus constantly guides the tape as it is wound or unwound, resulting in optimal tape guidance and consequently in a stable and accurate winding on the spool.
Abstract:
A guide element for magnetic tapes to be wound in the form of packs on flangeless spools, particularly for tapes in magnetic tape cartridges, which is arranged in a fixed position near the periphery of the pack at maximum pack diameter and provided with a guide surface and guide flanges. Such elements improve guidance of the turn of tape approaching and/or leaving the pack, resulting in a stable and accurate winding on the spool and in undisturbed tape travel.
