The second lift lever 84 is rotatably supported by a pin 86 at the rear end of a first lift lever 85 which is disposed below the eject lever 15 and outside the eject lever. The angular displacement of the second lift lever 84 is determined by a guide hole 8 formed in the eject lever 20 with a pin 87 projecting inward on the inner surface of the second lift lever 84.
It is limited within the range guided by 8. A connecting portion 20a extending in the horizontal direction is provided below the tip of the eject lever. This connecting portion 20a is used to bring into conduction a leaf switch 22a for exciting an electromagnetic solenoid 23, which will be described later. The first lift lever 85 is connected to the ejection lever 15 by a spring 91, and is also connected to the side plate portion 10a by a spring 92.
Therefore, the second lift lever 84 is biased by the spring in the cassette insertion direction F.

A protrusion 17 is formed at the left end of the ejection lever 15 in FIG. 4 and is perpendicular to the ejection lever 15 and projects inward. A guide hole 16 is formed in the side plate portion 10a along its longitudinal direction, and a protrusion 17 is fitted into the guide hole 16 to the extent that a portion of the protrusion 17 protrudes into the cassette storage portion 11.

The side plate portion 10a is formed with an opening 102 into which one end of the restraining plate 100 is locked when the restraining plate 100 is angularly displaced clockwise. Also, the arm portion 1 of the holding plate 100
00b is provided with a protrusion 103 at a position corresponding to the opening 102, which abuts against the upper end surface 15a of the ejection lever 15 before the cassette is inserted.
limits the descent.

FIG. 12 is a perspective view showing the structure related to the eject lever 20 and the trigger lever 21. A connecting portion 20a extending in the horizontal direction is provided protruding from the lower end surface of the left end of the eject lever 20. This connecting portion 20a is arranged below the substrate 10. A projection 112 is erected on the upper surface of the connecting portion 20a, and the projection 112 passes through a guide hole 80 formed in the cam plate 113 from below to above. The cam plate 113 is rotatably attached to the base plate 10 by a pin 114. Cam plate 11
A contact plate 115 is provided upright on the left end of the electromagnetic solenoid 23, and this contact portion 115 can contact the movable piece 117 of the leaf switch 22a of the electromagnetic solenoid 23. The leaf switch 22a includes a movable piece 17 and a fixed piece 118. Before the cassette is inserted, the contact portion 115 presses the movable piece 117, so that the movable piece 117 and the fixed piece 118 are separated.

Next, the operating state when the cassette is inserted will be explained. When the cassette is pushed into the cassette storage section 11, the upper end along the cassette insertion direction F comes into contact with the protrusion 17 during the insertion of the cassette, and when the cassette is further inserted, the cassette is moved. The projection 17 causes the ejection lever 15 to be pushed all the way in. When the ejection lever 15 reaches its depth, the support shaft 10, which had previously prevented the restraining plate 100 from falling, is removed, as shown in FIG.
3 comes off from the upper end surface 15a of the ejection lever 15, and is therefore rotated counterclockwise by the spring force of the spring 92, and as a result, the restraining portion 100a of the restraining plate 100 presses the cassette storage portion 11 downward, Therefore, the cassette storage section 11 is lowered.

When the cassette is inserted and lowered as described above, the cassette presses the trigger lever 21 and forces it downward. When the cassette is completely lowered, the trigger lever 21 moves to the ejector lever 20.
completely escapes from the opening 81b, and therefore displacement of the eject lever 20 to the right is permitted.

When the holding plate 100 rotates around an axis perpendicular to the insertion direction F as shown in FIG. is moved along. Therefore, pin 8 is attached to the first lift lever 85.
A second lift lever 84 fixed by 6
is rotated clockwise. Second lift lever 84
is rotated, the second lift lever 8
4 second locking protrusion 84b and eject lever 20
The locked state with the locking piece 83 is released. Furthermore, as described above, the downward movement of the trigger lever 21 allows the rightward displacement of the ejector lever 20, so the ejector lever 20 moves rightward.

When the ejector lever 20 moves to the right, the connecting portion 2 formed at the end of the ejector lever 20
0a also moves to the right, thus connecting the connecting part 113 via the protrusion 112 displaced along the guide hole 80.
is rotated around the pin 114 in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. 12, and the contact portion 118 is separated from the movable piece 170
The movable piece 170 and the fixed piece 118 come into contact, and the leaf switch 22a is turned on. When the leaf switch 22a turns on, the electromagnetic solenoid 2
3 is excited and the plunger 24 is retracted. As a result, the head stand 12 moves forward toward the cassette, and is pressed against the capstan via the tape recorder, and the tape is run at a constant speed to perform tape play.

Next, the operating state when the cassette is ejected will be explained. When the ejector lever 20 is pushed in along the cassette insertion direction F, the cam plate 113 is moved to the first position by the pushing operation of the ejector lever 20.
As a result, the leaf switch 22a is turned off, the plunger 24 is extended, and as a result, the head stand 12 is retreated in the direction in which it is separated from the cassette. Next, the locking piece 83 of the eject lever 20 presses the first locking protrusion 84a of the second lift lever 84, so that the second lift lever 84 is rotated counterclockwise. In accordance with the rotation of the second lift lever 84, the first lift lever 85 is moved to the right against the spring force of the spring 92.

When the first lift lever 85 moves to the right, the holding plate 100 connected to one end of the first lift lever 85 is rotated counterclockwise around the axis of the pin 100c, and the projection 103 of the holding plate 100 is rotated counterclockwise around the axis of the pin 100c. When the ejection lever 15 slides onto the rear end surface and is angularly displaced to the position where it separates from the rear end surface, the ejection lever 1
5 is allowed to move to the right, and is moved to the right by the spring force of the spring 82. This rightward movement of the ejection lever 15 is performed while the outer periphery of the protrusion 103 and the upper end surface 15a of the ejection lever 15 are in sliding contact, as described above. When the ejection lever 15 moves to the right, the cassette is ejected from the cassette storage section 11 by being pushed out by the protrusion 17 accordingly.

After the second lift lever 84 is rotated and angularly displaced until its longitudinal direction is perpendicular to the board 10, the second locking protrusion 84b engages the locking piece 8.
3 come into contact with each other, and the ejector lever 20 is engaged and in a locked state. Furthermore, the head trigger lever 21 is pressed until the cassette rises above the board 10.
is fitted into the opening 81b of the ejector lever 20, and the ejector lever 20 is in a locked state.
Therefore, the ejector lever 20 is prevented from protruding greatly during non-performance.

It is a sectional view seen from the cutting plane line - of the figure.
In FIG. 13, a projection 17 made of a synthetic resin material is fixed to the ejection lever 15 by a support shaft 120. As shown in FIG. The right end of the support shaft 120 is an E-ring 121
Fixed by A roller 1 is provided around the support shaft 120 in a portion of the support shaft 120 corresponding to the guide hole 16.
22 is attached. The outer periphery of this roller 122 is in contact with the guide hole 16. Also, the roller 122 is the spindle 1
It is rotatable relative to 20 degrees. Therefore, protrusion 1
When the roller 7 moves, the roller 122 moves while rotating along the guide hole 16, so that the protrusion 17 can be moved with a relatively small load.

In FIG. 14, the roller 1 is shown surrounding the pin 96.
22b is rotatably mounted around the outer periphery of the pin 96. The pin 96 is fixed to the side plate portion 10a. The shaft portion of the roller 122b is in contact with the inner wall of the guide hole 95 of the ejection lever 15, so when the ejection lever 15 moves via the pin 96, the guide hole 9
The roller 122b in contact with the roller 5 performs rotation interlocking. Therefore, the frictional force between the guide hole 95 and the roller 122b is small, and therefore the operating force for moving the ejection lever 15 can be made relatively small.

Furthermore, in FIG. 15, a roller 122c is rotatably mounted surrounding the support shaft 103. This roller 122c is in contact with the upper end surface 15a of the ejection lever 15 before the cassette is inserted, and when the ejection lever 15 moves as the cassette is inserted, the roller 122c rotates. Therefore, only a relatively small frictional force is generated between the upper end surface 15a of the ejection lever 15 and the roller 122c, and therefore the ejection lever 15 can be moved with a small operating force.

By attaching the rollers to the straight-travel portion of the movable body in this manner, the frictional force and the operating force can be reduced. Further, as will be described later, the second lift lever 84 is rotated by the ejector lever 20, and the roller 12 between the lever 15 and the restraining plate 100 is rotated.
It is configured to reduce the frictional force with 2c. Therefore, there are many straight sliding parts, and a rotating structure with little friction loss and rolling motion using rollers are adopted, so it is possible to reduce the operating force and improve the operating feeling.

Figure 16 shows the head stand 1 before inserting the cassette.

No. 3,154.

A connecting member 160 is disposed below the head stand 12 for moving the head stand 12 forward or backward in accordance with the operating state of the plunger 24.
An upright portion 161 is provided at one end of the connecting member 160, and this upright portion 161 fits between the hanging member 159 extending downward at the tip of the plunger 24 and the widened portion 24a of the plunger 24. It's crowded.
The connecting portion 160 is fixed to the head stand 12 by a pin 162 at the end opposite to the end where the upright portion 161 is provided.

Long holes 163 and 164 extending in the vertical direction as shown in FIG. 16 are formed in the lower part of the head stand, and the substrate 1
Pins 165 and 166 fixed on the top of the slot 16 are inserted through the elongated holes 163 and 164, respectively.
Furthermore, in the case of the pin 16, a connecting member 160 is also inserted therethrough. Therefore, the connecting member 160 is connected to the pin 1
It is rotatable around the axis of 65.

Springs 167 and 168 are attached to both sides of the head stand 12.
One end of the springs 167 and 168 are connected to each other.
The other end is connected to the substrate 10. Therefore, the head stand 12 is always urged upward by springs 167 and 168.

When the electromagnetic solenoid 23 is energized, the plunger 24 is retracted as shown in FIG. Ru. Therefore, the head stand 12 has pins 163 and 164.
It is guided through long holes 165 and 166 and moves downward. When the head stand 12 moves downward, the pinch rollers 56, 60 also move toward the support members 57, 61 via the torsion spring 152 at the arrow 15.
Rotates in 5 directions and moves downward. The pinch rollers 56, 60 are moved through the tape until they are pressed against the capstan. As a result, the tape runs at a constant speed and tape performance is performed.

At the time of ejection, the electromagnetic solenoid 23 is demagnetized and the plunger is extended, whereby the connecting member 10 is rotated counterclockwise around the pin 163. Therefore, the head stand 12 moves upward, the torsion spring 152 also moves upward by the locking protrusions 153 and 154, and the pinch roller 56,
60 rotates in the opposite direction to arrow 155 and moves upward, completely separating from the capstan. The head 12a also completely separates from the tape.

Before the cassette is inserted, the side surface of the locking portion 181 of the lever 180 is in contact with the pin 182, as shown in FIG. 20. When the cassette is inserted and the loading of the cassette is completed, the head stand 12 moves downward as described above. Therefore, the pin 182 slides on the side surface of the locking portion 180a, and when released from the side surface, the lever 180 is rotated counterclockwise by the spring force of the spring 185. When the head stand 12 is further moved downward in this state, the playing state shown in FIG. 20 is reached. When the beginning of a song is searched from a playing state, the plunger 23 is extended and the head stand 12 is moved upward by the spring force of the springs 167 and 168. At this time, the pin 182 comes into contact with the locking portion 181, and thereafter upward movement of the head stand 12 is restricted. This state is the beginning of a song, and also the fast-forwarding and rewinding states. Such a situation is illustrated in FIG. 20.3. After the beginning of the song, the plunger 23 retracts again, the head stand 12 moves downward, and the 20th
The performance state shown in FIG. 2 is reached.

FIG. 25 is a sectional view taken along the section line Y--Y in FIG. 22. A fast forward lever 13 and a rewind lever 14 are arranged above the pinch roller 56. The fast-forwarding lever 13 has a fitting hole 250 in a straight line along its longitudinal direction.
251 are formed at regular intervals. The distance between the fitting hole 250 and the fitting hole 251 is set to a length corresponding to the amount by which the fast-forwarding lever 13 is pressed.
Fitting holes 252 and 253 having a similar configuration are also formed in the rewinding lever 14 at positions corresponding to the fitting holes 250 and 251. The fast forward lever 13 is provided with a downwardly extending downwardly extending portion 254, and the rewind lever 14 is also provided with a downwardly extending downwardly extending downwardly extending portion 254.
55 are provided.

An extension part 10c extending horizontally from the upper part of the side plate part 10b is disposed to surround the fast-forward lever 13 and the rewind lever 14. This extension 10
An insertion hole 256 is formed in c, and each of the levers 13 and 14 is inserted through the insertion hole 256 when the fast-forward lever 13 is placed on the rewind lever 14. The extending portion 10c also has a rectangular through hole 2.
57, 258 are fitting holes 252, 250; 253,
It is formed at a position corresponding to 251.

A leaf spring 259 is urged downward and fixed to the upper surface of the extension portion 10c. This leaf spring 259 is connected to the base 260 and from both ends of the base 260 to the base 260.
arm portions 261 and 262 extending in a direction perpendicular to the main body. The free end portion 261a of the arm portion 261 is curved into a semicircular arc shape that projects downward. The free end portion 262a of the arm portion 262 also has a similar configuration.

When the levers 13 and 14 are not pushed in, the free ends 261a and 262a of the leaf spring 259
are connected to the fitting holes 250 and 2 through the through holes 257 and 258.
52 is fitted. When fast forwarding the tape, when the fast forward lever 13 is pushed in, the hanging portion 254 presses the pressing surface 263 provided on the lock lever 190, and the lock lever 190 is displaced. When the fast-forward lever 13 is completely pushed in, the lock lever is locked by the cam lever, and the free ends 261a, 262a of the leaf spring 259 are inserted into the fitting holes 251, 25 through the through holes 258, 257.
3 and is locked. When the rewind lever 14 is pushed in when rewinding the tape, it is locked in the same manner as above.

In this way, each lever 13, 14 is connected to the leaf spring 25.
Since it can only be locked by a spring force of 9, the construction is simple and the operating contact is improved.

Note that when the lock lever 190 is released from the locked state, the lock lever 190 is biased in a direction opposite to the cassette insertion direction F by the spring force of the spring 202, and the spring force of the spring 202 locks the fast-forward lever 13. Since the spring force is greater than the spring force of the leaf spring 259, the lock lever moves in the opposite direction to the insertion direction F, and in conjunction with this, the fast forward lever 1
3 is also released from the locked state and returns to its original state.

Effects As described above, according to the present invention, collision between the head and the cassette is prevented when loading the cassette, and when ejecting the cassette, the suction force of the plunger is cut off in conjunction with the eject operation, thereby preventing the cassette and the head from engaging. Prevented.

That is, according to the present invention, in a cassette tape recorder configured such that a cassette is inserted horizontally and then dropped to be loaded into a playing state, the head stand is displaced in conjunction with the movement of the ejector lever in the insertion and ejection direction. By operating the plunger of the electromagnetic solenoid that detects the loading of a cassette, the plunger of the electromagnetic solenoid that displaces the head stand is operated, and when ejecting, the plunger of the electromagnetic solenoid is shut off in conjunction with the eject lever. In particular, when the cassette is loaded into the playing position, the trigger lever is pressed by the cassette to release the restriction on displacement of the ejector lever, so that the loading of the cassette can be easily and reliably detected. , the plunger can be operated. Therefore, when the cassette is loaded into the playing position, the plunger is operated to operate the head stand, and when the cassette is loaded into the playing position, the trigger lever is pressed by the cassette, causing displacement of the ejector lever. Since this restriction is lifted, the advantage is also achieved that there is no risk of the head stand moving forward before the cassette is completely loaded into the playing position.
