ABSTRACT:
A cassette-lid opening device opens a lid of a cassette as the cassette moves downward from a raised position to a lowered position. The cassette has a front end at which the lid is located and a rear end. The device has an opening member arranged to be movable relative to the cassette and to open the cassette lid as the cassette moves downward. An urging member urges the opening member toward the cassette and a restricting element restricts the position of the opening member so as to cause the opening member to be located further away from the cassette rear end when the cassette is in the raised position than when the cassette is in the lowered position. The restricting element may be part of a holder for the cassette or a part of a cassette holder lowering/raising mechanism.
