ABSTRACT:
An adapter for a miniature type tape cassette has an external form and size smaller than those of a standard type tape cassette. The adapter comprises an adapter case having an external form and size substantially identical to those of the standard type tape cassette, an accommodating part for accommodating the miniature type tape cassette, a cover provided in a state free to open and close for covering the accommodating part in its closed state, a tape draw-out mechanism provided within the adapter case, for drawing out a tape from the miniature type tape cassette accommodated within the accommodating part and forming a predetermined tape path within the adapter case, and a locking mechanism for engaging with a part of the tape draw-out mechanism when the cover is in its open state, and for locking the tape draw-out mechanism in an immovable state at a position before the tape draw-out mechanism starts a tape draw-out operation. The locking mechanism is displaced by one part of the cover and disengages from the part of the tape draw-out mechanism when the cover is closed to release the locking with respect to the tape draw-out mechanism.
