ABSTRACT:
A cassette loading mechanism for a video cassette tape recorder includes a carrier for loading a tape cassette in the recorder which moves relative to a carrier guiding sidewall member by virtue of vertical and horizontal guide slots which are provided in the side wall member. An operating member is provided adjacent an inside surface of the carrier guiding sidewall member for being engaged by the carrier while it is moving horizontally on an ejecting position to an operating position. A lid opening member is attached to the operating member to engage the lid of a tape cassette placed in the carrier for opening the lid of the cassette before the cassette moves downwardly with loaded position. As a result, the length of vertical movement of the cassette during loading is reduced, which can reduce the size of the video cassette tape recorder and manufacturing costs.
