Abstract
A cassette loading apparatus of the present invention is capable of loading a plurality of tape cassettes different in size from each other, while achieving the following effects: A tape damage or a tape break when the lids of the tape cassette are opened/closed can be prevented; the opening height of a rear lid when the lids are opened can be maintained constant, and at the same time, a gap is not produced between the lids when the lids are closed, thereby preventing an increase of drop-outs due to the invasion of dust or the like into the gap; and damage of a rear lid opener or the rear lid when the lids are open/closed can be prevented.
