Abstract
To permit only centered insertion of variously sized cassettes (SML) of a set of cassettes into an opening leading into an insertion well of a tape transducer housing (H), cover flaps (1,3,7) are located across the opening, the cover flaps being positioned symmetrically with respect to a central axis of symmetry (XX) of the insertion path. One of the flaps, corresponding in size to the smallest one of the cassettes, closes off the path for the smallest cassette. The next flap is subdivided into two flap portions located, symetrically, adjacent the center flap, and cross-connected by a cross-connecting shaft or strap (3c,63c). Adjacent thereto are outer flap portions (7a,7b). The respective flap portions are locked in position by releasable locks (4) engageable by the leading edge of the respective cassettes. The locks are located adjacent the outer edges of the respective flap portions. Only if both appropriately sized flap portions are released from the locks, can the openings be completely uncovered. Depressible guide ridges can be formed in the cassette well to guide the respective cassettes.
