Abstract
An ejecting device which is used in a magnetic tape driving apparatus includes a first base plate extending parallel to the axes of reel shafts and at a right angle to a horizontal plane, a second base plate attached to the first base plate so as to be rotatable parallel to the first base plate between first and second positions, so that a lower portion of the second base plate below its axis of rotation relative to the first base plate is farther away from the projected ends of the reel shafts when the second base plate is located in the second position than when in the first position, a third base plate is rotatably attached to that portion of the second base plate below the axis of rotation of the second base plate relative to the first base plate, for rotation parallel to the second base plate. A tape cassette retaining member on the third base plate is provided for detachably holding the tape cassette, and a guide pin on the third base plate is fitted in a guide hole in the first base plate, so that the reel hubs of the tape cassette held by the tape cassette retaining member are mounted on the reel shafts when the second base plate is located in its first position, and the reel hubs of the tape cassette are disengaged from the reel shafts to tilt the axes of the reel hubs relative to the axes of the reel shafts while the second base plate moves from the first position to the second position.
