ABSTRACT:
A cartridge eject mechanism is disclosed for ejecting a cassette tape cartridge from a tape recorder or the like. The eject mechanism comprises a pre-formed non-linear elastic slide member mounted in a housing with one end positioned adjacent the tape cartridge while the other end supports an actuating member. Depression of the actuating member forces the slide member through the housing to eject the cartridge. Portions of the slide member, in moving through the housing, are forced out of their normal shape by the configuration of the housing thereby generating forces to return the slide member to its original shape. Upon release of the actuating member, these forces, in restoring the actuating member to its original shape, will move the slide member through the housing to its home position.
