ABSTRACT:
This disclosure relates to a tape cartridge receiving and locking mechanism comprised of but three relatively moving parts which collectively function to both receive a magnetic tape cartridge and lock said cartridge into position during the recording and transcription of information therefrom. The combination comprises a table portion upon which the magnetic tape cartridge rides, a generally U shaped rocker arm pivotally mounted on the table, and a relatively straight spring which exerts a biasing force on the rocker arm tending to cause projections on the extremities of the rocker arm to project through cut-out portions of the table and into locking engagement with the cartridge.
