ABSTRACT:
A cassette loading apparatus for a cassette playing/recording apparatus such as a DAT, VCR, or optical disc apparatus, includes guide slots in a frame for guiding a cassette holder between an insertion position and a loading position, and an opening-closing guide slot for guiding a link lever coupled to a release lever for opening and closing a lid on the cassette as the cassette holder moves between the insertion and loading positions. The opening-closing guide slot includes a yieldable arm for guiding the link lever along the guide slot during normal operation, and for flexing downward in the event that the cassette lid accidentally disengages from the release lever when moving from the loading position, so as to prevent the cassette from becoming jammed in the apparatus and to allow the cassette to be transferred to the insertion position from which it can be removed.
