ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a hinge mechanism for joining a first member to a second member. The first member, or a cassette cover of a tape recorder is elastically deformable. A pair of pins are coaxially fixed to the cassette cover. Each one of the pins has a base end fixed to the cassette cover and a free end. The second member, or a housing of the tape recorder has a recess which is defined by a bottom surface and a peripheral surface. A pair of grooves are formed in the housing. Each one of the grooves has an upper end portion which opens in the peripheral surface and rotatably receiving one of the pins. Each one of the grooves also has a lower portion which opens in a portion of surfaces of the second member which is located in the direction of the depth of the recess. A pair of flanges are formed at the base ends of the pins. The cassette cover is rotatably connected to the housing by means of the upper portions of the grooves rotatably receiving the pins and the bottom surface of the housing recess slidably contacted peripheral surfaces of the flanges.
