Abstract
A video recorder housing has a pivoting gate to open and close the cassette slot of the video recorder. The pivoting gate has a movable hook secure to its rear side. When a video cassette is inserted into the cassette slot to be loaded into the housing, the movable hook partially appears from the lower edge of the pivoting gate, and the pivoting gate remains partially open with the protruding hook resting on the upper surface of the video cassette. The partially open pivoting gate exposes the label of the video cassette to be seen from the outside.
