Tape cassette loading apparatus of tape recorder including a spring member for biasing a cassette towards reel tables

摘要

A tape cassette loading apparatus of a tape recorder operates with reduced noise and fewer components. A biasing unit for elastically biasing a tape cassette during placement onto reel tables toward the reel tables is provided with a leaf spring member having one end fixed at the side of a holder and a stop installed on the holder at any location on an elastic deformation path of the leaf spring member. Thus, a single leaf spring member enables a tape cassette to be stably placed on the holder and seated on the reel tables.
