ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an apparatus for loading a cartridge into a deck, including (a) a cartridge tray designed to be movable relative to a deck and formed at a bottom surface thereof with a through hole, a cartridge being adapted to be placed on the cartridge tray, the cartridge being formed at a lower surface with a positioning groove into which a pin projecting from the deck is to be fit through the through hole of the cartridge tray when the cartridge tray is caused to move to the deck, (b) an arm plate designed to be movable towards the deck, (c) a mechanism for causing the arm plate to make contact with the cartridge and push the cartridge towards the deck until the pin fits into the positioning groove of the cartridge, and a device for making contact with the cartridge before the arm plate makes contact with the cartridge, and pushing the cartridge towards the deck before the motor crank causes the arm plate to push the cartridge towards the deck. For instance, the device includes a block disposed at a lower level than the arm plate, and a rod having resiliency which is connected at one end thereof to the block and fixedly connected at the other end thereof to the arm plate. The apparatus makes it possible to smoothly fit the pin into the positioning groove of the cartridge, and hence load the cartridge into the deck without failing for the pin to fit into the positioning groove and thus the cartridge being stuck on the pin.
