Abstract
A magnetic tape cassette apparatus with a cassette holding mechanism which minimizes the deforming stress on the holding parts. While a cassette is in an intermediate position, between ejected and held, minimal forces are applied, thereby reducing stress if the cassette is left in this intermediate position for a prolonged period. Also included in this mechanism is a detent which prevents the lateral movement of the mechanism while a cassette is being inserted.
