ABSTRACT:
A novel tape cassette reel lock releasing apparatus for a magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus. The tape cassette reel lock releasing apparatus includes a main base having a releasing boss inserting hole for a standard type cassette tape which corresponds to the position of a through hole formed on the standard type cassette tape and a releasing boss inserting hole for a small type cassette tape which corresponds to the position of a through hole formed on the small type cassette tape. The tape cassette reel lock releasing apparatus also comprises a releasing boss for the standard type cassette tape and a releasing boss for the small type cassette tape. The releasing bosses are respectively inserted into the releasing boss inserting holes from a lower portion of the main base. A supporting rib is attached to the bottom portion of the main base and is provided between the releasing boss inserting holes. A bracket is hinged to the lower end portion of the supporting rib. The bracket moves in a seesaw motion up and down by an external force and supports the lower portions of the releasing bosses. An elastic means extends from the upper portion of the bracket to the lower portion of the main base to raise the releasing boss for the small type cassette tape. Since the constitution of the tape cassette reel lock releasing apparatus is simple, the manufacture thereof is advantageous and an erroneous operation rarely occurs.
