ABSTRACT:
A cassette lid opening/closing mechanism of a cassette tape driver for a cassette and the like cassettes, which is simply constructed at a reduced price. Holes are formed in the lid opening/closing levers and are pivoted to the support shafts on the side plates of the cassette holder. Hooks at the ends of the lid opening/closing levers are folded inwardly of the cassette holder and then forwardly. The side plates of the cassette holder extend backwardly to enter into the hooks. When the cassette tape is inserted in the cassette holder so that the cassette holder is slid back, the lid opening/closing levers turn and the hooks depress the lid of the cassette tape from the lower side so that the lid is open. The side plates limit the play of the lid opening/closing levers in the right-and-left direction. Therefore, the lid opening/closing levers are pivotally attached without requiring highly precisely machined shafts or bearings.
