Abstract
A cassette holder in a recording and/or reproducing apparatus for a magnetic tape cassette includes a pair of circular-arc shaped members which serves to deflect a front pivotal closure member of the magnetic tape cassette to its open position when the magnetic tape cassette is inserted into the cassette holder to be arranged at a fixed position, and a plate member which serves to deflect the front pivotal closure member to its closed position when the magnetic tape cassette arranged at the fixed position is taken out of the cassette holder. The cassette holder is formed by combining two sheet metal members with each other. One of the sheet metal members is integrally formed with the circular-arc shaped members, and the other sheet metal member is integrally formed with the plate member. When the magnetic tape cassette is arranged at the fixed position, the front pivotal closure member is received within a space between the circular-arc shaped member and the plate member.
