ABSTRACT:
An automatic cassette changer includes a large number of cassette storing racks in each of which a cassette is stored, a cassette transporter, and a recording and reproducing device. Automatic selective exchanging of cassettes between the cassette storing racks and the recording and reproducing device is performed by the cassette transporter. The changer has a sliding member that moves from a retracted position to an extended position and thereby moves a cassette pressing member from a retracted position to an extended position against the bias exerted by return springs so that a cassette stored in a cassette storing rack may be pushed out towards the cassette transporter by the cassette pressing member. However, the return springs avoid the possibility that a cassette stored in the cassette storing rack will accidentally jump out toward the cassette transporter and thus prevent accidental collision between the cassette and the cassette transporter.
