Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a cassette-type magnetic recording and reproducing device that has an inclined cassette playing section formed within the housing. The upper surface of the cassette can be easily seen through.

An embodiment of the device of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a casing of the main body of the magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus, and an opening 3 for inserting and removing a cassette 2 is provided on the front surface of the casing 1.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a board provided in the housing 1 so that its front side is inclined downward; a tape drive mechanism, its control mechanism, an electric circuit, etc. are attached to this board 4; A head board 7 with a reel shaft 5 supported on the rear side or a head 6 on the front side is provided on the top, and this head board 7 is slidable back and forth along the inclined base plate 4 by a spacer 8. It has become.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a guide member for the cassette 2 whose rear end is rotatably attached to the angle 10 of the substrate 4 by a shaft 11, and this guide member 9 extends from the lower end of the opening 3 of the housing 1 to the upper part of the head At this point, the guide plate 12 horizontally protrudes inward of the casing 1 and is substantially flush with the guide plate 12, that is, is in a substantially horizontal position, and is parallel to the board 4, that is, the front side thereof is rotated downwardly. The guide plate 12 is located inwardly from the guide plate 12.

The guide member 9 is positioned at the two positions by a positioning mechanism (not shown).

Consisting of the above-mentioned mechanism, the guide member 9 is positioned at a substantially horizontal position in the normal state, and in this state, the cassette 2 is inserted through the opening 3 of the housing 1 and passed above the guide plate 12. Place it on top.

That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the cassette 2 is mounted on the guide member 9 at a first position where it is temporarily mounted relative to the performance position.

Then, when the upper surface of the cassette 2 is pressed downward from the first position, the guide member 9 rotates and becomes parallel to the substrate 4,
The cassette 2 is engaged with the reel shaft 5 and is installed in the second position, which is the playing position, as shown in FIG. 2 to perform playback or recording operations.

When the cassette 2 is installed in the performance position, the rear end of the cassette 2 is located above the inner end surface of the guide plate, so that the upper surface of the cassette 2 in the performance position is 1 can be easily viewed from the outside through the opening 3 of the cassette 2, so that the running state of the tape in the cassette 2, the remaining amount of tape, etc. can be easily determined from the outside.

On the other hand, when taking out the cassette 2, the head 6 is moved back from inside the cassette 2, and the guide member 9 is pushed up by an eject mechanism or the like, so that the guide member 9 is pushed together with the cassette 2 from the second position to the first position. It is raised and the cassette 2 can be removed through the opening 3.

As described above, the present invention provides an opening in the front of the casing, a board with a downwardly inclined front inside the casing, and a cassette playing section on top of the board. A guide member is provided so as to be movable so as to be held and attached to the performance section.In particular, a head board with a head attached thereto is provided on a board in front of the performance position, and the housing is further mounted above the head. A guide plate is provided that protrudes inward from the lower end of the opening of the casing, and the guide plate and the guide member are placed in the first position (temporary attachment position of the cassette).
Since they are almost on the same plane, when a cassette is inserted through the opening and placed on the guide member in the first position, and conversely, when a cassette placed on the guide member in the first position is taken out from the opening. , the cassette can be inserted and removed smoothly.

Furthermore, since it is located above the guide as described above, the cassette does not collide with the head when the cassette is inserted or removed, which has the effect of protecting the head.

Furthermore, the guide plate hides the mechanism of the head from being visible through the opening, which eliminates the loss of quality.

Moreover, when the cassette is installed in the playing position, not only is the front of the cassette inclined downward, but also the rear end of the cassette is positioned above the inner end of the guide plate. The top surface of the installed cassette can be easily viewed through the opening for inserting and removing the cassette, so there is no need to force the cassette to be installed inside the housing, and there is no need to provide a special viewing window on the housing. This has many practical effects, such as being able to easily determine the running state of the tape in the cassette or the remaining amount of tape.
