Abstract
Playback, recording, and stop button plates are slidably mounted in parallel on a base plate. When pressed, the recording button plate engages the playback button plate so as to be locked to a recording position. A seesaw lever, which has a lock strip capable of engaging the playback button plate, is located in a plane across the sliding direction of the playback button plate and attached to the front wall of the base plate. An ejecting plate capable of engaging the stop button plate detects the difference between the displacement of the seesaw lever in the playback or recording mode and that in the stop mode. The stop button plate performs a stopping function without engaging the ejecting plate in the playback and recording modes, and engages the ejecting plate to perform cassette ejection in the stop mode.
