ABSTRACT:
An automatic changer for cassette tapes suited for the use in an automobile or the like is described a tape container which holds a plurality of cassette tapes fits into an automatic recording medium changer for selecting, playing, and recording tapes, for example. The tape container fits into an opening protected by a sliding door. The sliding door is driven by a motor which slides the door open and shut, exposing and covering the opening, respectively, thereby providing protection against foreign particles. The tape container is moved into the automatic changer by worm gears driven by a motor which stops automatically upon the tape container reaching a specified position. After selecting a particular tape, the automatic changer moves the selected tape into a recording section of the automatic changer. The selected tape is moved onto a slider by a series of gears. The slider is pulled along a rack by another series of gears and into position for play or record. To change tapes or remove the tape container, the individual motors drive the gears in reverse until each step mentioned above reaches its initial starting position.
