ABSTRACT:
A front-loaded cassette tape deck which moves the cassette a greater relative distance than the distance travelled by the table. A table is normally in the fully projected position because the force provided by a pair of springs is greater than the frictional forces and the damping forces provided by damping pulleys. A cassette is placed in a slider and is held therein by a leaf spring. As the table is moved towards the closed position, the slider is moved by cords and pulleys at a faster rate than the table. Thus, the slider is moved relative to the table. The greater travel of the slider causes it to be moved within a holder by the sliding engagement of a plurality of guide members. During this time, the holder is at an upper position. When the table reaches the closed position, the slider is fully disposed within the holder. The holder with the slider then automatically rotates to a lower position, which puts the cassette into operational engagement with a cassette driving section. The holder remains in the lower position until an eject lever is depressed, which causes the holder with the slider to be moved back to the upper position. The table then automatically returns to the fully projected position because the force provided by a pair of springs is greater than the frictional forces and the damping forces provided by the damping pulleys. As the table moves towards the fully projected position, the slider is moved out of sliding engagement with the holder and into sliding engagement with the table due to the relative movement of the slider with respect to the table provided by the cords and pulleys.
