Abstract
A door mechanism of a tape recorder includes a door axially-coupled at one side of an eject lever for being opened/closed around a pivot shaft during the pivoting of the eject lever, and a link for guiding the opening/closing operation of the door during the pivot operation of the eject lever, in which the door is positioned higher than a cassette lid so as not to contact the cassette lid during a first loading operation of a tape cassette and is positioned as high as the upper end portion of the eject lever after a second loading operation of the tape cassette is completed, thereby permitting the design of an extremely thin tape recorder.
