Cassette recorder or radio recorder with cassette storage slot

摘要

The invention concerns an audiotape cassette or radio/cassette recorder equipped with a housing for receiving an insertable cassette and a pivoting housing cover (5) designed to slide on a cassette when it is being inserted and for covering the housing opening, stressed by a spring, when said cassette is removed. Said apparatus further comprises an eject key (4) for triggering the cassette ejection. The housing cover (5) is placed such that it can also be closed, by being carried by a spring, when the cassette has reached its operating position after being inserted. The ejection key (4) and/or the housing cover (5) are provided with a stop element (14) which can, when the ejection key is actuated, lift the housing cover to such an extent that it does not come into contact with the cassette when it is being ejected. By this means, the housing cover (5) can be completely closed even while a cassette is being duplicated, without any risk of its being blocked when it is ejected from the cassette.
