A power supply device of a tape-end detecting sensor for a tape recorder. The
power
supply device comprises a reel cover disposed on a sub-chassis, with a tape-end
detecting sensor being seated on the reel cover for detecting the passing of a
terminal end of a magnetic portion of a magnetic tape, a first power transmitting
member mounted in the reel cover to be connected to the detecting sensor and having
a first contacting portion, and a second power transmitting member disposed on
the sub-chassis and having a second contacting portion that comes into contact
with the first contacting portion when the reel cover is mounted on the sub-chassis.
The power supply device further comprises a resilient pressing member integrally
formed with the sub-chassis, for resiliently pressing the second contacting portion
toward the first contacting portion to improve a contacting force between the first
and the second contacting portions. Accordingly, the contacting force between the
first and the second contacting portions can be improved without employing a separate
resilient pressing member and thus, the number of manufacturing process and the
manufacturing cost can be decreased.
