Cassette loading apparatus including means for controlling the cassette insertion force

摘要

A cassette loading apparatus in which there is provided a clutch member having a resilient member coupling first and second sliding members. The resilient member is adapted to horizontally move along guide members provided on one of a pair of side plates for guiding a cassette holder. The second sliding member has formed therein an elongated hole along which a projection formed on the first sliding member is displaced. The length of the elongated hole is greater than the displacement of the projection corresponding to the moving distance of the cassette holder along a horizontal section of an L-shaped guide groove formed in the one side plate.
