Abstract
A recording and/or reproducing apparatus (1) for a record carrier in the form of a tape accommodated in a cassette (23) comprises a cassette holder (4), which moves between a loading position and an operating position and is provided with a latching device (45) which latches a cassette which has been inserted into the cassette holder in its loading position. The latching device is constituted by at least one clamping lever (55), which when a cassette is inserted into the cassette holder is pivoted in the direction of insertion (31) of the cassette from a released position into a clamping position, in which the clamping lever constitutes a clamping connection with the inserted cassette, which connection when the cassette holder is moved into its operating position is released by lifting the cassette off the clamping lever, the clamping lever returning to a released position, out of which it can be pivoted by the cassette against the direction of insertion of the cassette when the cassette is removed from the cassette holder (FIG. 2).
