ABSTRACT:
In a tape recording and/or reproducing apparatus for use with a tape cassette containing a supply of tape and having an opening at one side of the cassette housing along which a run of the tape is normally guided, and lids mounted on the housing for movement between closed positions for covering respective parts of the tape run and opened positions where the lids are displaced from the opening to permit the withdrawal of the tape therethrough: magnetic heads or transducers are mounted on a chassis so as to be spaced from the open side of a cassette housing when the latter is operatively positioned in respect to the chassis; tape withdrawing members are engageable with the tape run in the operatively positioned cassette housing and are operative to withdraw the tape through the open side and into engagement with the transducers; and a cassette loading device includes a cassette holder movable between an inoperative position for the insertion and removal of a cassette in the holder and an operative position where a cassette in the holder is operatively positioned, and lid opening members mechanically coupled with the holder to move between inactive positions avoiding interference with insertion and removal of a cassette in the holder in its inoperative position, and active positions in which the lid opening members open the lids of an operatively positioned cassette in response to movement of the holder to its operative position.
