The object of the present invention is to allow the user to easily visually recognize it from the surface and to easily change the design by the user.

(Structure of the Invention) This invention is a cassette door of a cassette tape recorder that is rotatably attached to a cassette tape recorder body, and an opening formed in a cassette door body that closes a cassette tape loading portion of the cassette tape recorder body. And a decorative plate that has a transparent portion in a part thereof and is joined to the surface of the cassette door body so that at least this opening can be seen through, and formed when the cassette door body and the decorative plate are joined together. The decorative plate has a space portion into which a card with a picture or a pattern drawn therein can be inserted and removed so that it can be seen through the transparent portion from the front surface side, and this space portion is a fulcrum of rotation of the cassette door body. A cassette tape recorder characterized in that a card on which the above-mentioned picture or pattern is drawn is opened from the opposite direction so that it can be inserted and removed. It provides a cassette door for a car.

(Embodiment) FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the first embodiment of the cassette door of the cassette tape recorder according to the present invention, as seen from the rear side.
The drawing is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG.
The same parts as those of the conventional example shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 2 are explained by giving the same numbers, and 3f and 3f are integrally formed so that a part thereof protrudes on both sides of the opening 3d on the back surface of the cassette door body 3b. It is a holding plate for holding the card 5 on which the drawn picture or pattern is drawn. As is apparent from FIG. 4, when the cassette door main body 3b and the decorative plate 3e are joined, a space 3h is formed between the cassette door body 3b and the decorative plate 3e, into which the card 5 having the above-mentioned picture or pattern can be inserted and removed. It is what At the upper end of the opening 3d, the upper end 3d 'is inclined so that the card with the above-mentioned picture or pattern can be inserted and removed from the direction opposite to the rotation shaft 3c which is the rotation fulcrum. About card 5
Is easy to put in and take out.

When the card 5 is inserted from the upper end 3d 'of the opening 3d toward the space 3h, both sides of the card 5 are held by the holding plates 3f, 3f and inserted and held in the opening 3d, and the card 5 is placed on the surface side of the decorative plate 3e. It can be seen through the transparent portion 3a.

Also, when removing the card 5, the back surface of the card 5 can be easily removed by pulling it while pressing the back surface of the card 5 with a finger.

FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the second embodiment of the cassette door according to the present invention seen from the front side, and FIG. 6 is a sectional view thereof, showing the side of the cassette door body 3b to be joined to the decorative plate 3e. Opening
A thin portion 3g that is thinned by about the thickness of the card 5 is integrally formed from both sides and the lower portion of 3d to the upper end of the cassette door body 3b, and the transparent portion 3a is formed on the front side of the cassette door body 3b. When the decorative plate 3e that it has is joined and fixed, the thin part
A space 3h into which the card 5 can be inserted is formed between 3g and the decorative plate 3e, and the card 5 can be inserted into this space 3h.

Further, a notch 3i is provided in a part of the upper end of the thin portion of the cassette door body 3b so that the card 5 can be easily pulled out by a finger.

The embodiment of the cassette door of the present invention described above is one in which the cassette tape loading portion of the cassette tape recorder is simply closed, but as another embodiment, the cassette tape is held and recorded. -Of course, it can be applied to a cassette door that is attached to and detached from the playback position and that part is closed.

(Effect of the Invention) As described above, the cassette door of the present invention is a cassette door of a cassette tape recorder that is rotatably attached to the cassette tape recorder body, and closes the cassette tape loading portion of the cassette tape recorder body. An opening formed in the cassette door body and a transparent portion in a part thereof, and at least a decorative plate joined to the surface of the cassette door body so that the opening can be seen through; and the cassette door body. It is formed when the decorative plate is joined, and is composed of a space part into which a card with a picture or pattern is inserted and removable so that it can be seen through the transparent part from the surface side of this decorative plate.
