ABSTRACT:
An automatic control mechanism for a tape cassette player comprises a control motor selectively rotatable in first and second directions, a cassette holder movable between a cassette load/eject position and a cassette operating position, and a head plate movable to any of a plurality of positions respectively enabling operation of the cassette player in a plurality of modes. First, second and third cams are mounted for reversible rotation by the motor. A first operating arm controlled by the first cam effects reversible movement of a tape cassette within the cassette holder between an ejected position and a loaded position. A second operating arm controlled by the second cam effects reversible movement of the cassette holder between the cassette load/eject position and the cassette operating position. A third operating arm controlled by the third cam effects reversible movement of the head plate to a selected one of the mode-enabling positions. The first, second and third operating arms are moved in a sequence which depends on the direction of rotation of the motor.
