## Abstract

A housing assembly for a tape cassette loading device, is equipped with gear members having different radii on the right and left sides of the housing to compensate for uneven loading forces applied to the housing.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A housing assembly of a tape recorder, comprising:
a housing for receiving a tape cassette, said housing being supported by a deck member while ascending and descending during operation, said housing including an outer surface and two sides;
at least one arm member installed on each of said two sides of said housing for supporting said housing with respect to said deck member;
a shaft extending across said housing;
first and second gears respectively coupled to both ends of said shaft;
first and second sector gears respectively coupled to ends of said arm members and being meshed with said first and second gears, respectively; and
locking means installed on one of said two sides of said housing, for selectively locking said housing at a loaded position on said deck member,
wherein the radius of said first gear is smaller than that of said second gear, thereby to cause said two sides of said housing to rotate at an equal rotating angle when said housing is rotated by pressing a specified point on one side of the outer surface of said housing.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A housing assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein said locking means is located on the one side of the outer surface of said housing and said specified point comprises a portion of said locking means.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

A housing assembly as claimed in claim 2, wherein the radius of said first sector gear is larger than that of said second sector gear.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

A housing assembly as claimed in claim 3, wherein there are two of said arms on each side of said housing, with one arm on each side being coupled with a corresponding one of said first and second sector gears.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

A housing assembly as claimed in claim 4, further comprising:
means for biasing said housing toward an unloaded position.
