Abstract
A cassette mounting device is arranged to hold a cassette with a cassette holder and to support the cassette holder to be movable upward or downward relative to a chassis between raised and lowered positions. X-shaped links are disposed on both sides of the cassette holder and shaft pin parts of two interconnected levers are arranged to be slidable in a state of engaging cam slot parts of the chassis on the sides where these levers are mounted on the chassis. The cam slot parts are formed aslant, at least at their parts corresponding to the raised and lowered positions of the cassette holder, at such an angle of inclination that the shaft pin parts relatively move upward when the cassette holder descends.
