Abstract
A cassette ejection mechanism comprises an ejecting plate attached movably to a guide plate, a coupling plate rockably attached to the guide plate, the coupling plate having a pin and rocking in response to the slide motion of a sliding member, a toggle spring stretched between the guide plate and the coupling plate to apply an urging force to the coupling plate in rocking motion, and a swinging strip swingably attached to the ejecting plate, the swinging strip having a holding cam to engage the pin of the coupling plate to cause the coupling plate to rock against the urging force of the toggle spring as the ejecting plate moves from a second position to a first position and to be disengaged from the pin after the toggle spring passes its neutral point.
