ABSTRACT:
In an apparatus having a pivotable cassette cradle with a record-playback head fixedly mounted on its hinged end, a carriage is provided which is held close to the free end of the cradle when the latter is in a record-playback position and which has mounted thereon a pair of cassette retainer leaf springs and two electrical switch assemblies to be actuated by the tape cassette carried by the cradle. The apparatus further comprises a carriage shift mechanism for retracting the carriage away from the cradle immediately upon depression of a cassette ejector/carriage retractor pushbutton, and an ejector mechanism loosely connected to the carriage shift mechanism for pivoting the cradle from the record-playback to a loading position with some delay upon depression of the pushbutton. When the cradle is manually pivoted back from the loading to the record-playback position, the carriage automatically travels back toward the cradle with some delay.
