Abstract
A cassette loading apparatus for a cassette tape recorder includes a solenoid unit for controlling various operating conditions of the cassette tape recorder. The solenoid unit is connected with an eject rod through a connecting member and is engageable with a cassette holder and a slide plate carried by the cassette holder. The position of the eject rod is controlled according to the position of the cassette holder between an open position (a cassette eject position) and a closed position (a tape play position) so that when the cassette holder is in the open position, an attracting operation of the solenoid unit is inhibited, but when the cassette holder is in the closed position the attracting operation of the solenoid is enabled.
