Promoting Renewable Energy in a Market Environment: A Community-Based Approach for Aggregating Green Demand

A fast winding device for a video cassette tape recorder capable of achieving a fast winding operation at both of tape loading and unloading states by use of a fast winding plate having an extension to which a FF/REW gear is mounted. The device includes an actuating plate mounted on a lower surface of a base plate to move linearly laterally, the actuating plate having a first fast winding actuating groove and a second fast winding actuating groove, a fast winding mode plate disposed between the base plate and the actuating plate to move laterally linearly, a fast return spring for returning the fast winding mode plate to an original position, a FF/REW gear rotatably mounted to an extension of the fast winding mode plate and directly engaged with an idler mechanism, a spring for resiliently supporting a lock lever mounted to the fast winding mode plate, and a ratchet mounted to the fast winding mode plate and adapted to release a locking state of the lock lever.
