PURPOSE:To automate a series of processes of gripping a recording medium by a gripping means after it is ejected from a holder, inverting the medium by an inverting means and then passing it to said holder. CONSTITUTION:After recording or reproducing operation is carried out by a cassette deck 1, a cassette 4 is ejected and an inverting device 5 is commanded to invert the cassette. In response to that, a motor 13 is driven to move a subchassis 9 forth. At this time, a door 7 is opened by a cover 69 covering the tip and the cover 69 covers a mechanism part which projects out of a housing 8. Then, a plunger 18 is energized to turn a driving member 14 and during the turning, a gripping means 31 grips the cassette 4. After the driving member 14 returns, a rotary plunger 38 is energized to invert the cassette 4, which is inserted into a holder 3 through the turning of the driving member 14 and released from being gripped. |
