ABSTRACT:
A tape player of a miniaturized size in which a tape cassette, loaded in a tape cassette receiving portion thereof, partly extends outside of a housing thereof. The tape player is provided with the housing, the tape cassette receiving portion, and a front door mounted freely rotatable at an inlet part of the tape cassette receiving portion so that when the tape cassette is not yet loaded, an end portion of the front door is urged to a position contactable with a front part of the housing, and when the tape cassette is loaded, the end portion is urged to a position allowing the entrance of the tape cassette into the cassette tape receiving portion. The rewind mode is entered by depressing a reel support spindle. The cover for the tape player is locked onto the end of one of the reel support spindles. A spring in the cover holds the tape to the heads. Aligning guides cooperate with the thickened part of the cassette tape to ensure proper tape cassette positioning. A tuner cassette may be provided so that the tape player may be employed as a radio.
