Abstract
A scanning device for a tape cassette having a coupling element at an end of the tape which can be pulled from the cassette in a pull-out direction by a pull-out element in the device. The coupling element couples to the pull-out element as a result of relative movement of the cassette with respect to the pull-out element in a direction transverse to a main wall of the cassette, so as to form an assembly having a circular segment cross-section which can engage in a corresponding recess of a take-up reel in the device. The pull-out element is held in a standby position by a holder which is pivotably connected to the device housing.
