Abstract
The invention relates to a magnetic tape cassette apparatus with a drive mechanism which serves for playing magnetic tape cassettes, has a cassette loading mechanism to which there belongs a cassette tray (15) which accommodates the magnetic tape cassette and is guided by laterally projecting pins (16) in fixed vertical guideways (6) for the purpose of lowering into a playing position and raising into an eject position, the pins (16) reaching in addition through slots (14) of a slide (9) which slope relative to the vertical, the guideways (6) having have only a vertical longitudinal extension for lowering and raising the cassette tray (15) and the draw-in and eject movement of the magnetic tape cassette being taken over by a cassette catch (17) which is movable by an actuating lever (21) between an eject and a draw-in position, the actuating lever (21) pivotably coupled to the slide (9) simultaneously being moved via the displacement movement of the slide for the purpose of drawing in and ejecting the cassette.
