TAPE CASSETTE LOADING DEVICE

PURPOSE:To certainly perform a loading operation while eliminating a sliding loss, or sliding abrasion in a moving time, by not hanging an energizing spring between an eject arm and an eject claw. CONSTITUTION:At the titled device of slot-in type, a tape cassette moving eject claw 20 arranged within a recessed part where a tape cassette 5 can be inserted in the longitudinal direction, a guide plate 22 having a cam groove 22-1 which regulates the position of the eject claw 20 in the moving time of the cassette 5, and releases a position regulation at an ejecting position, and a spring 23 which gives a turning force on the eject claw 20 only at thud ejecting position of the cassette 5, are provided. By constituting the device so that the spring which always energizes the eject claw 20 is eliminated, and the turning force is given on the eject claw only at the ejecting position of the cassette, no sliding loss or sliding abrasion is generated in the moving time of the cassette, and in the moving time, the position of the eject claw can be determined exactly with the cam groove, and thereby, an accurate loading can be performed with a simple constitution.
