PORTABLE RECORDING AND REPRODUCING DEVICE

摘要

PURPOSE:To contrive promotion of drip-proof and dust-proof properties, simplification of the structure and promotion of timing for taking out a cassette on the subject device by providing a 2nd switch for moving back a cassette holder from a position just prior to a cassette inserting position to the cassette inserting position by driving again the cassette holder with a driving means at the time of detecting that a lid of a lid body is opened after giving pause to the cassette holder. CONSTITUTION:The lid body 4 for opening and closing a cassette inserting hole 3 of a cabinet 2 is of an opening-out structure for opening a lid upward from the cassette inserting hole 3 on the outside of the cabinet 2, and when the cassette holder 14 is moved back by the driving means (motor) 17 from a cassette loading position to the cassette inserting position, it is detected by a 1st switch 32 that the cassette holder 14 reaches the position just prior to the cassette inserting position, and hence the cassette holder 14 is given a pause in this just prior position. Then, it is detected by a 2nd switch 33 that the lid of the lid body 4 is opened after giving pause to the holder 14, and hence the cassette holder 14 is driven again by the driving means 17 to move back completely the cassette holder 14 from the just prior position to the cassette inserting position. By this method, the promotion of drip- proof and dust-proof properties, simplification of the structure and promotion of timing for taking out the cassette can be contrived for the device.
