Abstract
An apparatus for cleaning a video cassette player/recorder machine is disclosed. The apparatus is for cleaning a machine that has a recess to receive a tape cassette, a rotating head drum, a plurality of guide members movable between a nonoperating position and an operating position, and a spool-brake deactivator pin. The apparatus of the invention includes a housing, an activation mechanism, and a cleaning element. The housing is adapted to be positioned in the recess of the machine. The activation mechanism is engaged and moved by the spool-brake deactivator pin when the housing is positioned in the recess of the machine. Engagement with the spool-brake deactivator pin causes the activation mechanism to move the cleaning element into contact with the video head drum. The apparatus also includes two spools rotatably coupled within the housing and a cleaning ribbon attached to the spools. The cleaning ribbon is positioned within the housing to be engaged by the guide members of the machine such that it contacts one side of the rotating head drum when the guide members are in an engaged position.
