ABSTRACT:
An automatic loader-unloader of cassettes to and from a videotape deck in which the unloader comprises means to tilt and support the videotape with its top surface at a selected angle to the horizontal, and providing a shelf in front of the deck with the shelf co-planar with the top surface of the deck. Loading means are provided by means of an arm mounted above and parallel to the deck surface with means adapted to press against the back edge and top surface of the cassette when mounted on the shelf, so as to provide two components of force, one parallel to the plane of the cassette, causing it to move off the shelf and on to the elevator plate of the tape deck, and a second force perpendicular to the surface of the cassette so that when the deck is positioned on the elevator, and extends the eject spring, the downward force will cause the elevator to move downwardly and into the recording position. To unload the deck there are means to operate the eject lever on the tape deck, which lifts the elevator to move to its upper position, and the eject plate exerts a force on the cassette to move it forwardly, off the elevator plate from which it falls, by gravity, along the surface of the elevator and of the shelf, to be positioned on the shelf.
