Abstract
The cassette loading/ejecting device in a tape player includes a slide plate slidable from front to rear of the tape player and a pack guide connected to the slide plate to carry the cassette inserted into the tape player so as to effect cassette loading and ejection by displacement of the cassette between its inserted position and its play position in accordance with movement of the slide plate, and the cassette loading/ejecting is characterized in that a drive mechanism for transmitting motor rotation to the slide plate is interposed between a one-way rotatable motor and the slide plate, the drive mechanism is provided with a changeover mechanism to invert the rotation transmitted from the motor, the changeover mechanism includes a changeover plate disposed rotatable adjacent to a drive gear linked to the motor, and a changeover gear carried by the changeover plate for engagement with the drive gear, an inversion plate disposed adjacent to one end of the changeover plate for simultaneous rotation with the slide plate, and an inversion spring connected between the inversion plate and the adjacent end of the changeover plate so that pushing direction of the inversion spring against…
