ABSTRACT:
A cassette loading apparatus for transporting a selected tape cassette from an insertion opening to a playing position. The tape cassette is selected from among different size cassettes including a large size and a small size. A holder receives the tape cassette. A pair of cassette guides disposed on an inner face of the holder receives the tape cassette between the guides if the tape cassette is of the small size and, when the tape cassette is of the large size, each of the cassette guides is covered by a corresponding one of a pair of grooved portions provided on the bottom of the tape cassette. A resilient arm is provided integrally on an upper face portion of one of the cassette guides and is arranged so as to be pressed and resiliently deformed by the tape cassette received in the holder if such tape cassette is of the large size and not pressed and deformed if such tape cassette is of the small size. The resilient arm includes a triangularly shaped protruding portion and a lever portion extending downwardly from the protruding portion through an opening provided in the inner face of the holder. A device determines that the tape cassette received in the holder is of the large size by sensing displacement of the lever portion upon the resilient arm being deformed by contact with the tape cassette of the large size.
