ABSTRACT:
A cassette transporting device adapted to receive on a cassette support a cassette inserted through an inlet in the front side of the main body of a video tape recorder or like magnetic record reproducing apparatus, to move the cassette support along a cassette frame horizontally rearward and then vertically downward to an operative position and to return the support to the loading position for the ejection of the cassette by reversely moving the support. The device comprises guide means for guiding the support along the path of the movement, and drive means having a motor for driving the support. The guide means has a stationary guide groove formed in each of opposite side walls of the frame and including a horizontal groove portion and a vertical groove portion, a movable guide member fitted in the horizontal groove portion and slidable only along the horizontal groove portion, and a guided projection formed on each of the support side walls and guidable by the guide groove and the guide member. The guide projection, guide groove and guide member coact to move the support stably and smoothly bring the support from horizontal movement into vertical movement and vice versa. The main assembly of the drive means is provided on only one side of the frame to simultaneously transmit its drive force to the opposite sides of the support through a coupling rod supported by the side walls of the support, moving members on both ends of the rod and moving member guide paths on the frame side walls.
