ABSTRACT:
A cassette tape player has a cassette chamber defined therein adapted to be selectively opened and closed by a hingedly supported lid which is movable between open and closed positions. This cassette tape player includes a cassette holder movable between loading and operative positions about a holder hinge axis parallel to a lid hinge axis about which the lid pivots. The cassette holder includes a generally elongated holder base and holder arms rigidly connected at one end to respective opposite ends of the holder base so as to define a cassette receiving chamber. A cassette guide is movably secured to a portion of the lid opposite to the lid hinge axis for pivotal movement between retracted and protruding positions about a guide hinge axis parallel to the holder hinge axis and operable to guide a tape cassette into the cassette receiving chamber with opposite side portions of the tape cassette slidingly received by the holder arms when the lid is in the open position. The cassette guide includes guide arms which are spaced from each other a distance corresponding to a space between the holder arms and which, when the lid is in the open position and the cassette guide is biased to the protruding position, form respective guide slopes generally continued to the cassette receiving chamber.
