<p>A cassette ejecting mechanism of a tape player is so configured that a cassette holder is provided with a portion to be locked whereas a head drum withdrawal lever is provided with a lock portion, so that when the cassette holder has moved to a loading position, the lock portion of the head drum withdrawal lever prevents the cassette holder from moving toward an ejecting position and locks it at a loading position, but when the head drum withdrawal lever is retracted, the lock is released to permit the cassette holder to move to the ejecting position. At the same time, the portion to be locked of the cassette holder is located in front of the lock portion of the head drum withdrawal lever and prevents the head drum withdrawal lever from returning to a forward position; namely, the head drum is locked at the retracted position. Accordingly, locking and unlocking of the cassette holder in and from the loading position as well as locking of the head drum in the retracted position can be reliably carried out in a predetermined order only by means of the cassette holder and the intermediate lever. <IMAGE></p> |
