Automatic cartridge tape draw-out device
 A reel drive roller and a tape draw-out roller larger in diameter than the reel drive roller and formed with irregularities on its peripheral surface are rotatably mounted coaxially on support means. When the support means is swung toward the opening in a cartridge, the reel drive roller engages a flange of a tape reel to rotate the tape reel to expand the outer convolutions of the wound tape radially outwardly, and the tape draw-out roller engages the outer convolutions under some pressure to feed the leading end of the tape to a capstan roller associated with a pinch roller which is formed with irregularities on its peripheral surface. The capstan roller and the pinch roller feed the tape which is drawn out in this manner to a tape take-up reel.
