A tape cassette mount for receiving different types of tape cassettes in a tape cassette recorder has a shutter operating mechanism including an arm and a guide roller provided at an end of the arm. The guide roller rotates while sliding along a guide of the tape cassette, thereby sliding the shutter open. When a different type of tape cassette having no shutter is inserted, the arm is pressed and thus pivoted by the tape cassette to a retracting position without damaging the tape cassette or a magnetic tape.

A tape recorder apparatus is compatible with both analog and digital audio tape cassettes 1, 2, upper surfaces of the cassettes being formed with different engaging holes 1a, 2a, respectively. This tape recorder apparatus includes a holder 3 for selectively receiving either of these two different kinds of tape cassettes 1, 2; and a retainer member 4 which is swingably supported about a shaft 4d and disposed adjacent to but spaced from the holder 3. This retainer member 4 has a pair of engaging hooks 4a, 4c disposed along an insertion direction of the tape cassette 1 or 2. Each of these engaging hooks 4a, 4c exclusively engages with either of different engaging holes 1a, 2a formed on the two different kinds of tape cassettes 1, 2 when a respective tape cassette 1 or 2 is completely inserted in the holder 3. This retainer member 4 further includes a resilient portion 4b for flexibly causing a swing movement of the engaging hooks 4a, 4c in both directions for engaging and disengaging with the tape cassettes 1 or 2. Shift members 5, 6 and 7, are connected with the retainer member 4 directly or indirectly, for shifting the tape cassette 1 or 2 from a first position, where the tape cassette is completely held in the holder 3, to a second position where the tape cassette is set to execute its recording or reproducing operation.

A height adjustment device is provided that has a first chassis having an adjustment hole, an adjustment screw that stands when threadedly engaged with the adjustment hole in the first chassis, a second chassis locked by the adjustment screw so as to have a preset separation distance from the first chassis, and biasing means for biasing the first chassis and the second chassis in the direction of attaining separation therebetween. The adjustment screw has a tip portion for forming a female thread in the adjustment hole when rotated and inserted into the adjustment hole, a threaded portion having a male thread threadedly engaged with the female thread formed by the tip portion, and a head portion for locking the second chassis against the direction of biasing by the biasing means, in a nearly linear state. The distance between the end of the head portion of the adjustment screw on the male thread side and the end of the tip portion on the male thread side is made larger than the sum of the length of the inside diameter portion of the adjustment hole in which the female thread is formed, the maximum value of the distance between the first chassis and the second chassis and the thickness of the second chassis.

A disc or tray is prevented from inadvertently springing out of a magazine when the magazine is mounted or an external force is exerted. Provided is a disc changer having a magazine mounting section, a recording and reproducing unit, a slider which selects a desired disc from a plurality of discs lodged in a magazine and a transfer arm which draws the selected disc out of the magazine and loads the disc on the recording and reproducing unit 10. The disc changer is provided with a lock member which prevents each disc from springing out of the magazine at least in a disc non-selective state in which the slider does not execute disc selection, and the mounting of the magazine in the magazine mounting section is executed when the slider 21 is in the disc non-selective state.

A disc player has a first lock unit and a second lock unit, which are driven by a reversible motor through the lock drive unit so as to lock a floating unit having a turntable in a transferring operation for the disc player and the disc. The first lock unit comprises a lock plate having lock pins, which engage with lock-pin receivers of the floating unit, and the second lock unit comprises a pair of locking members, which engage with a locking projection of the floating unit in the locking state.

A tape recorder includes a cassette holder for holding therein a tape cassette which is inserted in a direction parallel to the direction of movement of a slide shutter of the tape cassette, an arm-like shutter opening member for opening the slide shutter of the tape cassette, a slide member movable between a first position in which the tape cassette is latched on the slide member, and a second position in which the tape cassette is fully received in the cassette holder, and a control plate, connected with the slide member and engageable with the shutter opening member, for controlling the operation of an actuating pin of the shutter opening member such that when the slide member is disposed in the first position, the actuating pin is held on the outside of the cassette holder, and when the slide plate moves from the first position toward the second position, the actuating pin is able to move into the cassette holder and then engage and open the slide shutter of the tape cassette as the tape cassette is advanced by the slide member.

An apparatus for identifying the type of each of first and second types of tape cassettes which are inserted into the same cassette holder of a tape recorder in a longitudinal direction and mounted at a predetermined position in the tape recorder, the first tape cassette being provided with at least one recess at its side surface perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and the second tape cassette being provided with a projection at a position of its side surface corresponding to the position of the recess of the first tape cassette. The apparatus comprises a rotatable lever arranged to be at a predetermined recessive position before mounting the first and second tape cassettes and rotatable toward the first and second tape cassette after mounting the first and second tape cassettes. The rotatable lever engages with the recess of the first tape cassette and the projection of the second tape cassette by the rotation so as to take first and second operating states in accordance with the recess and projection. The apparatus further comprises a switch responsive to the first and second operating states of the rotatable lever so as to identify the kinds of the tapes of the first and second mounted tape cassettes on the basis of the first and second operating states.

A tape recorder operates with a Digital Method Compact Cassette (DCC) where the DCC has a hole in its upper surface. When the DCC is placed in the tape recorder, the DCC is moved parallel to the direction of insertion of the DCC and is then moved down. The tape recorder also includes a holder for holding the DCC, a first supporting member for supporting the holder, a projection disposed on the first supporting member, a transfer part for transferring the DCC in a direction parallel to the direction of insertion, a second supporting member rotatably mounted on the transfer part for supporting the lower surface of the DCC, and a spring for urging the second supporting member toward the lower surface of the DCC. The projection mates with the hole in the upper surface of the DCC. The second supporting member has an extending part and the first supporting member has a contact surface which makes contact with the extending part of the second supporting member when the parallel movement of the DCC is completed. Under operation, when the DCC moves in the parallel direction, the DCC is maintained between the first supporting member and the second supporting member. When the DCC then moves perpendicularly, the second supporting member does not obstruct the perpendicular movement of the DCC.
