Abstract
A hub lock releasing structure for a tape recorder has a releasing pin for releasing a hub from a locked state by pressing a hub locking member installed on a tape cassette in one direction as the tape cassette settles on a deck. The releasing pin is integrally formed with the deck. In the hub lock releasing structure, since the releasing pin is integrally formed with the deck, the number of necessary components can be reduced and the assembly process can be simplified. A method of fabricating a releasing pin for the hub lock releasing structure comprises providing a deck in the tape recorder for receiving a tape cassette, partially cutting a portion of the deck, and bending the cut portion of the deck upward to form the releasing pin.
