Abstract
A tape deck locking and release mechanism for tape cartridges which is operable by manual movement of the cartridge. In response to a manual insertion and first push, a locking assembly carried by the frame catches a locking member associated with the cartridge to lock the cartridge in the playback position. When the cartridge is pushed a second time beyond the playback position the locking assembly releases and the cartridge is returned by a return spring and ejected. Alternative constructions for the locking assembly are disclosed, and also illustrated is an automatic release and ejection responsive to the tape completing its movement from one spool to the other in a cassette type cartridge.
