Recording cassette mechanisms.

摘要

A cassette lid opening and closing system for a magnetic recording and/or reproducing apparatus, capable of opening a cassette lid 20a during seating a tape cassette 20 on a deck and closing it after seating the tape cassette 20 thereby to lower the height of the deck, includes a lid-opening member operating link 45 for swinging a lid-opening member 44 to open the lid 20a during seating a cassette holder 40 on a slider 50, a lever 70 for closing the open lid 20a by releasing a lid-pressing operation of the lid-opening member 44 when the tape cassette 20 is seated on a lower chassis 60, and a lever operator 80, 90 for operating the lever 70, so that the cassette lid 20a is closed during reproducing a signal from a tape, to allow for manufacturing a very thin deck. <IMAGE>
