ABSTRACT:
Automatic device for guiding and loading magnetic tape cassettes into a machine which loads tape onto the cassettes. The device includes an inlet funnel chute wherein a sensor determines the open side of the cassette. The cassette is then dropped onto a rotatable plate wherein sensors sense the location of the screws in the cassette and then the cassette is oriented for and passes to a second rotatable mechanism for righting the cassette. A logic unit evaluates the information from the two sensors and controls the rotatable plate and second rotatable mechanism to properly orient and righten the cassettes for the next station.
