Abstract
An erroneous container insertion prevention structure has a stopper mechanism disposed upstream of a positioning ledge for positioning the leading end of a cassette on a support base, for preventing the cassette from being inserted, and a releasing mechanism disposed at a container insertion reference position, for engaging the cassette to retract the stopper mechanism out of the path of said cassette only when the cassette is inserted along the container insertion reference position. The erroneous container insertion prevention structure, which is relatively simple in arrangement, allows the cassette to be reliably loaded into a cassette loading unit in a desired attitude.
