ABSTRACT:
A cassette inserting and ejecting apparatus is provided for use with a tape cassette including a substantially rectangular body having a mouth in one long side portion thereof and containing a tape guided there across, a pivoted lid for movement between opened and closed positions in respect to the mouth, and guide grooves extending along upper and lower surfaces, respectively, of another side portion of the body which is parallel to and remote from the side portion having the mouth. Such apparatus has an insertion port through which the cassette can be inserted and ejected in a direction parallel with the grooves, a stage member mounted for movement vertically between a raised position at the level of the port for receiving the inserted cassette and a lowered position at which received cassette is operatively disposed. The stage member includes an elongated, channel-shaped side portion cross-sectionally configured to slidably embrace the grooved side portion of the cassette which is inserted into the stage member in the raised position, and an end portion directed laterally from an end of the channel-shaped side portion which is remote from the insertion port in the raised position. Elongated upper and lower guide members extending longitudinally within the channel-shaped side portion and are directed toward each other to be slidably engaged in the guide grooves in the upper and lower surfaces, respectively, of the cassette body so that the received cassette is held in a cantilevered manner.
