ABSTRACT:
When the ignition switch of the automobile is turned off, a solenoid in the tape player is de-energized and the release of its armature pulls a small resilient roller into contact with the tape drive capstan. The capstan forces the roller into a wedged position with a lever arm which in turn activates a cantilevered eject mechanism to eject a tape cartridge. As the cartridge is pushed away from the capstan, it removes power from the capstan. If an attempt is made to insert a cartridge while the key is still "off", the power to the capstan would be restored and, as before, cause ejection of the cartridge.
