VIDEO CASSETTE LOCK PLATE INCORPORATING DEVICE

PURPOSE:To make the whole unit lighter and smaller by providing a means to obliquely hold a lock plate, and a means to load the lock plate to a cassette case main body by means of parallel movement while holding the tilt of the lock plate. CONSTITUTION:When a plate holding means 50 to hold a lock plate 10 is shifted to a prescribed incorporating position, a spring pressing arm 56 and a plate pressing arm 57 are upward turned again by pressuring means 58 and 59. The plate 10 is held by a loading means 60 consisting of a pair of holding members, and extracted from the top of the means 50. In addition, since the plate 10 is obliquely held by tilting by a prescribed angle beforehand on the means 50, after the holding of the plate 10, only by longitudinally, horizontally or vertically moving it in parallel, the means 60 can incorporate it to the case main body. Thus, the constitution of the loading means can be simplified, and the whole unit can be reduced in weight and miniaturized.
