Recording and reproducing device.

摘要

A recording and reproducing device includes a first lever and a second lever. The first lever has a projection on the free end and a first rotating shaft on the fixed end. The projection comes into contact with the slider of a cassette and open the slider. The second lever has a first rotating shaft on one end, a second rotating shaft at the central portion thereof, and has a restricting member on the other end, for restricting the rotary movement of the first lever . With this arrangement, an increased radius of rotation of the projection and an increased angular moment are achieved when the cassette is pushed into the device and the movement of the slider is started. Therefore, reduced power is required to push the first lever when starting the movement of the slider. <IMAGE>
