ABSTRACT:
A cassette loading device of the front loading type selectively loads standard and smaller cassettes into a loaded position in a video cassette recorder, and ejects the loaded cassette from the video cassette recorder. A housing has a cassette insertion slot, a first door mounted on the housing for selectively opening and closing the cassette insertion slot, and a second door mounted on the first door for selectively opening and closing an opening defined in the first door. A pair of door lock members is mounted on the housing one on each side of the cassette insertion slot. When no cassette is inserted, the first door is locked against angular movement by the door lock members, and when a standard cassette is inserted through the cassette insertion slot, a tapered surface of each of the door lock members is pushed by the inserted standard cassette to disengage an engaging surface of the door lock member from the first door to unlock the first door. When a smaller cassette is inserted through the opening, the smaller cassette is guided through the opening while opening the second door. The second door can be locked by another pair of door lock members on one side of the opening.
