Abstract
An adapter for a miniature type tape cassette has an external form and size smaller than those of a standard type tape cassette, which is designed for a recording and/or reproducing apparatus of a type different from a standard type recording and/or reproducing apparatus cooperating with the standard type tape cassette. The adapter comprises an adapter case having an external form and size substantially equal to those of the standard type tape cassette, an accommodating part for accommodating the miniature type tape cassette, and a tape draw-out mechanism provided within the adapter case, for drawing a tape out of the miniature type tape cassette so as to form a predetermined tape path within the adapter case.
