MECHANISM FOR FORCEDLY EJECTING CASSETTE IN CASSETTE DRIVE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To forcedly eject a recording medium cassette when the recording medium cassette is not ejected to a prescribed position, in the cassette drive provided with a cassette loading mechanism for making the recording medium cassette land on a driving mechanism by making it move in the almost right angle direction against the pull-in direction after the recording medium cassette inserted to a cassette port is pulled in the inserting direction. SOLUTION: This cassette drive is provided with a position sensor 30 for detecting that the recording medium cassette 2 exists in the position ejectable by only the almost linear movement in the ejecting direction and the mechanism 15 forcedly ejecting the cassette for making the recording medium cassette 2 move to the ejecting direction, and it is constituted in such a manner that the recording medium cassette 2 is forcedly ejected by operating the cassette forcedly ejecting mechanism 15 when the recording medium cassette 2 is not ejected in spite of issuing the ejecting instruction to the cassette drive and also when the position sensor 30 detects that the ejection is allowed only by making the recording medium cassette 2 linearly move to the ejecting direction.
