Driving device for a tape holder of a tape recording/reproduction device

摘要

A driving device for loading or ejecting a cassette tape in or from a deck of a tape recording/reproduction device. A horizontally movable device is engaged with a rotating side arm which pivots along with movement of a cassette holder. The movable device is disposed in the housing. Also, a member for opening or closing a light transfer path of a sensor is coupled to the horizontally movable member, thereby controlling driving of a loading motor effectively in response to a position of the movable member. The cassette holder can be smoothly mounted or ejected at a high speed even if the tape cassette is deeply inserted into the holder by the operator.
