Abstract
A cassette holder for Compact Cassettes, which is pivotable about a pivoting axis and intended for a vertical cassette recorder, is provided with stop means in order to avoid an incorrect position of the cassette, the openings in the front of the cassette, for the passage of the magnetic heads and the pressure roller, not being oriented towards the pivoting axis of the cassette holder but towards the insertion opening. In the cassette holder guide ridges are provided which co-operate with the cassette near its side walls and beside the locally thickened portion in the cassette, in such a way that during insertion the cassette is tilted from an oblique position to a straighter position, the top edge of the cassette holder butting against the locally thickened portion of the cassette in the case of an incorrectly inserted cassette.
