Abstract
A cassette loading device, wherein, when a rack, formed on a tray supporting a holder for holding a cassette, comes out of mesh with a pinion gear serving as a drive source, the tray itself is engaged with the pinion gear, so that the pinion gear urges the tray, thereby transferring the tray to a position of completion of its horizontal transfer thereby enabling the cassette to be transferred in a stable manner.
