Abstract
A tape cassette recording/reproducing apparatus in which a long length ejection for ejecting a tape cassette by a longer distance than usual is stably executed is disclosed. The tape cassette recording/reproducing apparatus includes a tape cassette housing moving mechanism that moves a tape cassette housing to an ejecting position by rotating a rotating arm, and a tape cassette pushing out mechanism that pushes out a tape cassette by a predetermined distance from the tape cassette housing positioned at the ejecting position. The tape cassette pushing out mechanism is moved by an excessive rotation of the rotating arm.
Claims4
A tape cassette recording/reproducing apparatus, comprising:
- a tape cassette holder that holds an inserted tape cassette;
- a tape cassette holder moving mechanism that moves the tape cassette holder in which the tape cassette is inserted between a tape cassette loading position and a tape cassette ejecting position;
- and
- a tape cassette pushing out mechanism that further pushes out the tape cassette by a predetermined distance from the tape cassette holder positioned at the tape cassette ejecting position;
- wherein
- the tape cassette holder moving mechanism comprises a motor, an arm which is rotated by the motor, and a sliding cam which is moved by a rotation of the arm, and the tape cassette holder is moved from the tape cassette loading position to the tape cassette ejecting position by a movement of the sliding cam to a predetermined position, and
- the arm is excessively moved after the sliding cam is moved to the predetermined position, and
- the tape cassette pushing out mechanism is disposed on the sliding cam and is moved by the excessive rotation of the arm.
