The invention relates to a magnetic-tape-cassette apparatus comprising a motor which drives the reel discs via a reel-drive mechanism (5) and which also drives a longitudinally movable servo rod (9) actuating a head support (26), a switching member (18) and a loading mechanism (21) comprising a lift slide (22) and, coupled thereto, a cassette holder (23), which are movable, between an eject position and an upper play position, in which upper play position the cassette holder (23) can be moved into a lower play position, a loading drive (10) being provided by means of which the loading mechanism (21) is engageable and disengageable and which can be driven by parts (6) of the reel-drive mechanism (5), in which apparatus engagement and disengagement is effected by means of a control rod (14) carried by the servo rod (9), the loading drive (10) and the parts (6) of the reel-drive mechanism (5) driving the latter being in driving engagement with the lift slide (22) at the same side of the deck plate on which the loading mechanism is arranged., and the loading drive (10) being arranged on a pivotal lever (12) which is pivotable between a driving position and a disengaged position by the control rod (14).
A magnetic-tape-cassette apparatus comprising a motor which drives the a reel-drive mechanism and which also drives a longitudinally movable servo rod actuating a head support, a switching member and a loading mechanism comprising a lift slide and, coupled thereto, a cassette holder, which are movable between an eject position and an upper play position, in which upper play position the cassette holder is moveable into a lower play position, a loading drive being provided by means of which the loading mechanism is engageable and disengageable and which can be driven by the reel-drive mechanism wherein the improvement comprises that engagement and disengagement of the loading mechanism is effected by means of a control rod carried by the servo rod, the loading drive and the portion of the reel-drive mechanism driving the loading drive being in driving engagement with the lift slide and being disposed on the same side of the deck plate on which the loading mechanism is arranged, and the loading drive is arranged on a pivotal lever which is pivotable between a driving position and a disengaged position by means of the control rod.
