Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a double cassette tape recorder having a front panel section having a cassette mechanism operating state display and an operation key input section in a double cassette tape recorder.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, stereo systems have tended to be miniaturized as mini-minicomputers have become widespread.The double cassette tape recorder used in this stereo system is designed to reduce the external dimensions of the front panel to the dimensions of the cassette mechanism, and to operate the operation key input section. The mainstream is that the display part is arranged on the front panel surface of the cassette holder part.

An example of a double cassette tape recorder having the above-mentioned conventional front panel section will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 4 is a main part structural view showing a conventional double cassette tape recorder having a front panel part.

In FIG. 4, 1A and 1B are cassette mechanism parts incorporated in the double cassette tape recorder, and 2A and 2B are cassette holder parts for mounting cassette tapes on the respective cassette mechanism parts 1A and 1B. Reference numeral 3 is a case portion of the double cassette tape recorder. Reference numerals 4A and 4B denote front panel portions including operation portions for operating the cassette mechanism portions 1A and 1B and a display portion for displaying operation states of the cassette mechanism portions 1A and 1B, which are integrated with the front surface of the cassette holder 2A. The front panel 4A is provided for the front panel 4A, and the front panel 4B is integrally provided on the front surface of the cassette holder 2B.

Reference numeral 5 is an eject lever for opening the cassette holder portion 2A and for attaching and detaching the cassette tape. Reference numeral 6 denotes an eject lever for opening the cassette holder 2B and removing and attaching the cassette tape.

With the double cassette tape recorder configured as described above, two independent cassette tapes can be attached to each cassette holder by opening and closing the cassette holder unit integrated with the front panel.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, the double cassette tape recorder having the above-described configuration has a panel size limitation compared to the single cassette tape recorder, and the function of the panel section is independent of two cassette holders. It must be arranged in two parts, and there is a limit to the type and identification of display contents due to the limitation of the display size.

In addition, when the common display unit and the common key operation unit having the function of performing the interlocking operation of the two cassette mechanism units are separately arranged on the two panel units, it is uncomfortable and there is a problem that the arrangement becomes difficult. It was

In view of the above problems, the present invention enables the key operation part or display part corresponding to each cassette mechanism part and the key operation part or display part common to the two cassette mechanism parts in spite of the miniaturization of the housing. The present invention provides a double cassette tape recorder having a front panel that can be placed in the.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, a double cassette tape recorder according to the present invention mounts a cassette tape on the two cassette mechanism parts arranged side by side on the front surface of the main body. Two cassette holder parts, a key input part for operating the cassette mechanism, and
A tape recorder having a display section for displaying the operation state of a cassette mechanism of two sets, the key input section or the display section is provided on the front surface, and the two cassette holder sections and the front surfaces of the two cassette mechanisms are covered and opened and closed. In one possible arrangement, the front panel section is arranged on the front surface of the main body, and the front panel section and the cassette holder section are opened and closed to mount the cassette tape on the cassette mechanism section. is there.

According to the present invention, the above-described structure covers the front surfaces of the two cassette mechanism parts and the two cassette holder parts in which one front panel part having the key operation part or the display part is provided independently of the cassette holder part. By arranging the front panel and opening and closing the front panel to mount the cassette tape, all the display and operation can be performed by a single front panel. Due to the limitation of the display size of the display unit, the limit of the kind and clarity of the display contents becomes large, and the display unit and the common key operation unit common to the two cassette mechanism units can be arranged.

Embodiment A double cassette tape recorder according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an external perspective view showing the structure of a double cassette tape recorder according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 2 is an external perspective view showing the structure of the double cassette tape recorder according to the embodiment of the present invention when the front panel portion is opened.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, 1A and 1B are two cassette mechanism parts arranged in parallel on the front surface of the double cassette tape recorder main body, and 2A and 2B are cassette mechanism parts mounted on the cassette mechanism parts 1A and 1B, respectively. The two cassette holders 3 and 3 are cases of the double cassette tape recorder.

Reference numeral 4 is a single front panel which is independent of the two cassette holder portions 2A and 2B and which is arranged to cover the front surfaces of the two cassette mechanism portions 1A and 1B and the two cassette holder portions 2A and 2B. Each cassette mechanism on the front panel
Each operation unit 4b for operating 1A, 1B respectively, and an operation unit 4b for operating the functions common to both cassette mechanisms 1A, 1B,
A display unit 4a is provided for displaying the respective operating states of the cassette mechanism units 1A and 1B and the operating states of the functions common to both cassette mechanism units 1A and 1B.

Reference numeral 5 is an eject lever for opening the cassette holder portion 2A and removing and attaching the cassette tape, and 6 is an eject lever for opening the cassette holder portion 2B and attaching and detaching the cassette tape.

At this time, the front panel 4 can be simultaneously opened in conjunction with the eject levers 5 and 6.

FIG. 3 is a sectional view of an essential part of a double cassette tape recorder according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 3, by operating the eject levers 5 and 6, the eject lot 7 pushes up the lock lever 8 to unlock the front panel portion 4 and open the front panel portion 4 as indicated by a chain line. You can

As described above, according to this embodiment, the key input section or the display section is arranged and the front panel 1A and the front panel 1B are integrated,
Further, it is possible to form a front panel section independent from the cassette holder section, arrange the front panel section at the front of the cassette holder section and the cassette mechanism, and open and close the front panel section so that a cassette tape can be mounted. This makes it possible to have a single front panel unit in which all displays and operations are integrated, which is advantageous in the type and clarity of the display contents due to the display size limitation of the display unit of the double cassette tape recorder. Become. Further, it is possible to easily arrange common displays and common key operations on independent panel parts.

As described above, the double cassette tape recorder of the present invention has two cassette mechanism parts and two cassettes in which one front panel part having the key operation part or the display part independently of the cassette holder part is installed in parallel. By arranging so as to cover the front surface of the holder part and opening and closing the front panel part so that the cassette tape can be mounted, all the display and operation can be performed by one front panel part. Therefore, the type of display content and the limit of clarity are increased due to the limitation of the display size of the display section of the double cassette tape recorder, and the common display section and common key operation section can be arranged in the two cassette mechanism sections. This is a great practical effect.
