Abstract
A tape cassette loading apparatus wherein various components can operate smoothly at suitable timings with a simple construction. A pivotal lever is pivoted at an initial stage when a tape cassette is inserted into a cassette holder, and a controlling member is moved a little forwardly by the pivotal lever. The movement of the controlling member is detected by a position detector, and a loading motor is controlled in response to a detection signal from the position detector. The controlling member is driven to move forwardly and backwardly by power of the loading motor, and a changing-over operation between loading and unloading of a tape cassette and a mode position changing-over operation of a head mounting plate are performed by the forward and backward movement of the controlling member.
