2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus is known in which a cassette half is moved horizontally and then vertically to set the cassette half at a recording or reproducing position.

This type of magnetic recording and reproducing device uses a pair of lifter plates that are urged in the direction of closing the legs by an elastic body, and presses the cassette half held by the lifter plates with a cassette holding mechanism to record or reproduce data on the cassette half. It was meant to be lowered into position.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above conventional example, when the cassette half is pressed by the cassette holding mechanism and the cassette half is lowered, a large pressing force is applied due to the urging force of the elastic body urging the lifter plate. Since it had to be added to the cassette half, there was a problem that the cassette half was easily deformed (thermal deformation).

The present invention provides a magnetic recording/reproducing device that can easily lower a cassette half by simply applying a small pressing force to the cassette half.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a pair of lifter plates that are supported on a base plate so that the legs can be opened and closed, and an elastic body that biases the lifter plates in a direction in which the legs are opened. and,

is a spring that biases the movable iron core 54. The pin 55 is inserted into the elongated hole 57 of the mode clutch lever 48. When no current is supplied to the plunger solenoid 53, the movable iron core 54 is urged in a direction to protrude from the plunger solenoid 53 by the urging force of the spring 56. Therefore, the mode clutch lever 48 is biased clockwise (clockwise in FIGS. 5 and 6) via the pin 55, and the large diameter gear portion 49L of the third gear 49 and the first gear 42 is a non-meshing state. On the other hand, when current is supplied to the plunger solenoid 53, the movable iron core 54 of the plunger solenoid 53 is attracted. As a result, the mode clutch lever 48 that engages with the pin 55 of the movable iron core 54 of the plunger solenoid 53 is rotated counterclockwise (counterclockwise in FIGS. 5 and 6).
A large diameter gear portion 49L of the third gear 49 meshes with the first gear 42. Therefore, the rotational driving force of the motor 40 is as follows: first gear 42 → third gear 49 → fourth gear 50 → fifth gear 51 → sixth gear 52

Conversely, when the motor 40 rotates counterclockwise, the carriage 21 moves forward (in the Y direction).

Next, the operation of the cassette transfer mechanism and cassette transfer drive mechanism will be explained.

First, when the cassette half is not inserted into the cassette insertion part 58, the carriage 21 is located forward (in the Y direction), and the lifter plates 30 and 31 are moved toward the substrate 1 by the biasing force of the spring 34. More distant state (lifter plate 3
0.31, the leg angle is small).

Here, insert the cassette half into the cassette insertion section 58.
When inserted, the cassette detection piece 18 of the switch lever 17 is detected by the cassette half, and the switch lever 17 is rotated. Therefore, the drive pin 19 of the switch lever 17 pushes the drive piece 15a of the cassette insertion detection switch 15, and the cassette insertion detection switch 15 is closed (ON).
Current is supplied to the plunger solenoid 53, the movable iron core 54 is attracted, and the mode clutch lever 4
8 rotates counterclockwise (counterclockwise in FIGS. 5 and 6), and the third gear 49 rotates counterclockwise (counterclockwise in FIGS. 5 and 6).
It meshes with 2. When the cassette insertion detection switch 15 is closed (ON) and a predetermined time (for example, 100 mS) has elapsed, current is supplied to the motor 40 under the control of the control circuit, and the motor 40 is rotated clockwise (in the fifth direction).
(clockwise in FIG. 6). The rotational driving force of this motor 40 is applied to the first gear 42 and the third gear.
gear 49, fourth gear 50, fifth gear 51,
transmitted to the rack 22 via the sixth gear 52;
The carriage 21 moves rearward (in the Y' direction) while the inserted cassette half remains stationary. When the carriage 21 moves further backward, the carriage 2
One cassette engaging claw 25 engages with the hole edge of the tape exposed surface of the cassette half, and the cassette half is transferred rearward (in the Y' direction) by the carriage 21.
When the carriage 21 is further moved rearward, the pin 26 of the cassette engaging pawl 25 supported by the carriage 21 engages the bent portion 1 of the cam groove 13 of the side plate 12.

The pin 24 contacts the cam portion 36 of the cassette holding plate 35, rotates the cassette holding plate 35, and moves the cassette half downward (Z direction) by the holding piece 35a.
Press. Furthermore, in synchronization with the rotation of the cassette holding plate 35, the lifter plates 30, 31 rotate in a direction in which they come into contact with the substrate 1 (in a direction in which the leg opening angle of the lifter plates 30, 31 increases). That is, a bent portion 23a that bends upward is formed at one end of the cam groove 23 of the carriage 21, so that the carriage 21 can be moved backward (in the Y' direction).
When the pin 10 of the link 8 reaches the bent portion 23a of the cam groove 23, the link 8 rotates and the long pin 11 of the link 8 moves toward the substrate 1. For this reason, the lifter plates 30, 31, which were regulated by the long pins 11, are moved in the direction of approaching the board 1 (lifter plates 30, 31) by the biasing force of the spring 34.
(in the direction that increases the leg closing angle).

In this way, as the carriage 21 moves rearward, the cassette half is transferred horizontally, and as the carriage 21 moves further, the engagement of the cassette engaging claw 25 with the cassette half is released, and the cassette half is moved horizontally. As the presser plate 35 rotates, the lifter plates 30 and 31 also rotate, so the cassette that has been transferred backwards descends to the playback position (or recording position).

3,164 are controlled.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained.

(A) Operation of transporting the cassette half from the cassette insertion section 58 to the playback position (see timing chart in FIG. 16).

When the cassette half is inserted into the cassette insertion section 58, the cassette detection piece 18 is rotated clockwise by the inserted cassette half, and the cassette insertion detection switch 15 is closed (ON) (at time T1 in FIG. 16 ₎ . ), current is supplied to the plunger solenoid 53, and the movable iron core 54 of the plunger solenoid 53 is attracted against the biasing force of the spring 56. As the movable iron core 54 is attracted, the mode clutch lever 48 moves the movable iron core 5
4, the mode clutch lever 48 rotates, and the large diameter gear portion 49L of the third gear 49 rotatably supported by the mode clutch lever 48 is driven by the pin 55 of the motor 40.
1 meshes with the first gear 42 press-fitted into the first gear 42 . Furthermore, after a predetermined period of time (for example, 100 mS) has elapsed after the cassette insertion detection switch 15 is closed (ON), current is supplied to the motor 40 (the first
₆ ), the rotating shaft 41 of the motor 40 rotates clockwise (CW). The rotational driving force of this motor 40 is transferred from the first gear 42 to the third gear 49.
→Fourth gear 50→Fifth gear 51→Sixth gear 52→Rack 22 of the carriage 21, and the carriage 21 is transferred rearward (Y' direction) while the cassette half is stopped. When the carriage 21 is transported to a predetermined position, the cassette engaging claw 25 of the cartridge 21 engages with the hole edge of the tape exposed surface of the cassette half, and the cassette half is also transported rearward (in the Y' direction) together with the carriage 21. be done.

When the carriage 21 is further moved rearward, the pin 24 of the carriage 21 comes into contact with the cam portion 36 of the cassette holding plate 35, causing the cassette holding plate 35 to rotate (in the direction of arrow R in FIG. 4), and the carriage 21 Since the pin 10 inserted into the cam groove 23 moves to the bent part 23a of the cam groove 23, the link 8 rotates, and the long pin 11 fixed to the link 8 moves toward the substrate 1. For this reason, the lifter plates 30 and 3 whose rotation in the direction of the board 1 was restricted by the long pins 11
1 rotates in the direction of the substrate 1. By the rotation of the cassette holding plate 35 and the rotation of the lifter plates 30, 31, the cassette half transferred rearward is moved in the direction of the substrate 1 (Z direction). Rotation of cassette holding plate 35 and lifter plates 30, 3
As the cassette half rotates, the cassette half descends in the direction of the board 1, and when it descends to a predetermined position, the flexible plate 178 is pushed by the cassette half, and the flexible plate 178 also activates the cassette detection switch. The movable piece 177 of 176 is driven, and the cassette detection switch 176 is closed (as shown in FIG.
At time _T4 ), it is detected that the cassette half is set at the playback position.

By the above operations, the inserted cassette half is set at the playback position.

(B) Operation of running the magnetic tape in the cassette half set at the playback position (see timing chart in Figure 16).

When the cassette half is set at the playback position and the cassette detection switch 176 is closed, the current supply to the motor 40 is cut off, the rotation of the motor 40 is stopped, and the current supply to the plunger solenoid 53 is cut off. Therefore, the movable iron core 54 of the plunger solenoid 53 is pulled outward by the urging force of the spring 56, and the mode clutch lever 48 rotates clockwise, causing the third gear 49 and the first gear 42 to The mesh becomes disengaged, resulting in a non-meshing relationship.

As the mode clutch lever 48 rotates clockwise, the clutch lever 62 connected to the mode clutch lever 48 rotates clockwise, and the eighth gear 63 rotatably supported by the clutch lever 62 rotates. The large diameter gear portion 63L meshes with the second gear 43.

After the cassette detection switch 176 is closed,
After a predetermined period of time (for example, 100 mS) has elapsed (the first
₆ ), current is supplied to the motor 40, and the motor 40 rotates clockwise (CW).

When the motor 40 rotates clockwise, the rotational driving force of the motor 40 is applied to the rotation shaft 4 of the motor 40.
1 → first gear 42 → pawl 44 → second gear 43
-> 8th gear 63 -> 7th gear 61 -> 9th gear 66 -> 10th gear 68, and the 10th gear 68 rotates clockwise from the state shown in FIG. 13A. As the tenth gear 68 rotates clockwise, the lever 70 moves and the sliding lever 72 slidably supported on the base plate 1 slides in the Y direction.

As the sliding lever 72 slides in the Y direction,
A pin 74 implanted in the sliding lever 72 contacts the link 84 and rotates the link 84 clockwise (see FIG. 7). Since the drive pin 143 fixed to the head chassis 121 is inserted into the elongated hole 88 of the link 84, as the link 84 rotates clockwise, the drive pin 14
3 is driven, and the head chassis 121 moves in the direction of arrow X against the biasing force of the spring 121S. As the sliding lever 72 further slides in the Y direction, the output of the light receiving element 183 decreases (at time T6 in FIG. ₁₆ ), and the movable piece 180 of the changeover switch 179 moves towards the driving piece 75b of the sliding lever 72.
is driven in the Y direction by the changeover switch 179.
is switched (at time _T7 in FIG. 16). When the tenth gear 68 rotates nearly 90° clockwise from the state shown in FIG. 13A, the drive pin 143 driven by the link 84 in the direction of arrow The state detection switch 181 closes (as shown in Fig. 16).
(as of T ₈ ). Further, as the tenth gear 68 rotates clockwise, the sliding lever 72 that had been sliding in the Y direction begins to slide in the Y' direction, and the link 8
4 begins to rotate counterclockwise, the reproduction state detection switch 181 closes, and the output of the light receiving element 183 increases (at time _T9 in FIG. 16). As the sliding lever 72 slides further in the Y' direction, the output of the light receiving element 183 decreases (T ₁₀ in FIG. 16).
time). When the sliding lever 72 passes through the state shown in FIG. 13B and further rotates clockwise, the pin 73 of the sliding lever 72 comes into contact with the link 85.
This link 85 is rotated counterclockwise to again drive the drive pin 143 of the head chassis 121 in the direction of arrow X.

When the tenth gear 68 further rotates clockwise from the state shown in FIG. 13B, the changeover switch 1
79 is switched by the drive piece 75a of the sliding lever 72 (at time _T11 in FIG. 16). When the tenth gear 68 further rotates approximately 90 degrees clockwise from the state shown in FIG.
is closed, and current is supplied to the electromagnets 163 and 164 (at time _T12 in FIG. 16). electromagnet 163,
When current is supplied to 164, the rotating lever 9
0,91 adsorbents 93,94 are electromagnets 164,
163, and the rotating levers 90, 9
1 is held in a closed state as shown in FIG. 14A. In this state, the tenth gear 68 further rotates clockwise, the sliding lever 72 begins to slide leftward again, and the link 85 becomes able to rotate clockwise, but the roller 131 of the head chassis 121 Since the position of the head chassis 121 is restricted by the rotating levers 90 and 91 held in the closed state, the head chassis 121 does not return in the direction of the arrow X' due to the biasing force of the spring 121S. 10th gear 68
When the light receiving element 183 rotates once from the state shown in FIG. 13A and returns to its original position, the output of the light receiving element 183 increases again (at time _T13 in FIG. 16). This light receiving element 1
Due to the second rising of the 83 output, the motor 40
The supply of current to the motor 40 is cut off, and the rotation of the motor 40 is stopped. When a predetermined period of time (for example, 100 mS) has elapsed since the second rise (T ₁₃ ) of the output of the light receiving element 183, the motor 40 rotates counterclockwise (at time T ₁₄ in FIG. 16).

As the head chassis 121 moves in the direction of the arrow X, the pins 155, 1 inserted into the holes 141, 142 of the head chassis 121
56 is driven, the pinch roller support arms 151 and 152 rotate, and the pinch roller 15
3 and 154 move in the direction approaching the capstan shafts 159 and 160. Further, the magnetic head 122 attached to the head chassis 121 also approaches the magnetic tape in the cassette.

Furthermore, while the tenth gear 68 makes one rotation clockwise from the state shown in FIG. do. For this reason,
By the pin 83 of the lever 81, the sliding plate 144 is driven first to the left (Y direction), then to the right (Y' direction), and further to the left.
When it rotates once and returns to its original state, the sliding plate 144
is held in a state where it is driven in the left direction (Y direction). One end of a wire 147 is supported by the support 146 of the sliding plate 144, and this wire 147
is inserted into the hole 149 of the bent piece 148 of the board 1, and the other end is inserted into the bent part 11 of the idler gear plate 112.
Since it is inserted into the hole 119 of 8, the sliding plate 1
44 is driven in the left direction (Y direction), the wire rod 147 is in a state of being rotated counterclockwise (FIGS. 7 and 8) using the bent piece 148 of the board 1 as a fulcrum, and the idler gear plate 112 is rotated clockwise, and the 14th gear 115 rotatably supported by the idler gear plate 112 meshes with the small diameter gear portion 161S of the flywheel 161, and the 14th gear 115 rotatably supported by the idler gear plate 112 The 13th gear 114 is the reel stand 172
It meshes with the gear part 174 of.

When the tenth gear 68 is rotated 360° from the position shown in FIG. 13A, the spring 1
Rotating arm 100 by urging force of 04,105
The rotation of the rotation arm 101 and the rotation of the rotation arm 101 are caused by the pins 108, 109 of the rotation arms 104, 105 and the cam holes 125, 126 of the head chassis 121.
Because it is regulated by locking with
In the state shown in , the eleventh and twelfth gears 110,
111 are large diameter gear parts 161L, 162L of flywheels 161, 162 and reel stand 1
It does not mesh with the gear parts 173, 174 of 71, 172.

As described above, the tenth gear 68 is
When the head chassis 121 is rotated 360 degrees from the state shown in _FIG . The magnetic tape is held between a pinch roller and a capstan shaft,
The magnetic head contacts the magnetic tape, and (c) the small diameter gear portion 16 of the flywheel 161
1S and the 14th gear 115 and the 13th gear 1
(d) The eleventh gear 110 and the twelfth gear 111 mesh with the large diameter gear parts 162L, 161L of the flywheels 162, 161, and the reel stand 172, respectively. (e) The clockwise rotation of the motor 40 is stopped.

From this state, for a predetermined period of time (for example, 100mS)
After the lapse of time, current is supplied to the motor 40, and the motor 40 rotates counterclockwise (as shown in Fig. 16).
(as of T ₁₄ ).

When the motor 40 rotates counterclockwise, the rotational driving force of the motor 40 is transferred from the first gear 42 to the pawl 46.
It is transmitted to the flywheels 161 and 162 via the → pulley 45 → belt 185 → pulley 184, and the flywheel 161 rotates counterclockwise and the flywheel 162 rotates clockwise.

The rotational driving force of the flywheel 161 is generated by the small diameter gear portion 161S of the flywheel 161.

2 rotates clockwise. Therefore, the reel built into the cassette half that engages with the reel stand 172 rotates clockwise, causing the magnetic tape in the cassette to run, thereby playing back side A.

(C) Operation of shifting from side A playback state to fast forward (FF) state (see timing chart in Figure 17).

When the fast forward (FF) operation switch 203 is operated in the playing state of side A (at time _T1 in FIG. 17), the counterclockwise rotation of the motor 40 is stopped and the electromagnets 163 and 164 are
The current supply to is cut off (at time _T2 in FIG. 17). Therefore, the attraction of the attraction bodies 94, 93 by the electromagnets 163, 164 is released, and the rotation levers 90, 91 become rotatable. Therefore, the roller 131, whose movement in the direction of arrow X' has been restricted by the rotation levers 90 and 91, moves in the direction of arrow X' due to the biasing force of the spring 121S. As a result, the reproduction state detection switch 181 is opened (OFF) (at time _T2 in FIG. 17). _T2
When a predetermined time (for example, 100 mS) has elapsed from this point, the motor 40 starts rotating clockwise (at time _T3 in FIG. 17). For this reason, the tenth gear 68
makes one rotation clockwise. This tenth gear 68
At time _T10 during one rotation of the head chassis 121, that is, when the head chassis 121 is driven in the direction of the arrow X and the regeneration state detection switch 181 is closed, current is supplied only to the electromagnet 164. The rotation of the motor 40 is then stopped at time _T11 , that is, at the time when the output of the light receiving element 183 rises. Here, the movement of the roller 131 between T ₁₀ and T ₁₁ will be explained. At time _T10 , the roller 131 is in the state where it has moved the most in the direction of arrow X, as shown in FIG. Rotation of the lever 90 is restricted. However, other electromagnets 16
Since no current is supplied to 3, the rotating lever 9
1 is rotatable. After that, the tenth gear 68
As the link 85 rotates, the link 85 rotates clockwise, and the head chassis 121 moves in the direction of the arrow X'. The roller 131 also moves in accordance with the movement of the head chassis 121, but the rotation lever 9
1 is rotatable, the roller 131 moves along the inclined surface 96 of the rotary lever 90, rotates the rotary lever 91, and the roller 131 moves along the edge of the keyhole-shaped hole 132 of the substrate 1. Movement in the direction of arrow X' is restricted by the tilted surface 96 of the rotating lever 90 (FIG. 14B). roller 131
When the rotating lever 91 is rotated, the rotating arm 101 is rotated clockwise, and the twelfth gear 111 supported by the rotating arm 101 is rotated.
The gear portion 173 of the reel stand 171 and the large diameter gear portion 161L of the flywheel 161 do not mesh with each other. On the other hand, the pin 108 of the rotating arm 100 is connected to the cam hole 12 of the head chassis 121.

It meshes with the second large diameter gear portion 162L. In addition,
In this state, the pin 120 of the idler gear plate 112 is inserted into the long hole 127a of the head chassis 121, so the idler gear plate 1
The twelve thirteenth and fourteenth gears 114 and 115 are in a state where they do not mesh with the gear portions 174 and 173 of the reel stands 172 and 171 and the small diameter gears 162S and 161S of the flywheels 162 and 161. Thereafter, the rotation of the motor 40 stops at time _T11 . When the rotation of the motor 40 stops and a predetermined period of time (for example, 100 mS) has elapsed, the motor 40 rotates counterclockwise (at time _T12 in FIG. 17), and this rotational driving force is transmitted via the belt 185 to the flywheel 161, Further, the rotational driving force of the flywheel 162 is transmitted from the large diameter gear portion 162L of the flywheel 162 to the eleventh gear 110 to the gear portion 174 of the reel stand 172, thereby rapidly forwarding the magnetic tape.

(D) Operation of shifting from side A playback state to fast rewind (REW) state (see timing chart in Figure 17).

The operation switch 204 for fast rewind (REW) is operated, and the fast rewind (REW) is started from the A-side playback state.
The operation of transitioning to the state is similar to the operation of transitioning from the A-side playback state to the fast forward (FF) state shown in FIG. 17, but at time T ₁₀ in FIG. 17, current is supplied only to the electromagnet 163. The points are different. When current is supplied only to the electromagnet ₁₆₃ at time T10 in FIG. 17, the attracting body 94 is attracted by the electromagnet 163, and as a result, the rotation of the rotating lever 91 is restricted. On the other hand, since the rotary lever 90 is in a rotatable state, when the roller 131 moves in the direction of arrow X',
The rotary lever 90 is rotated clockwise (FIG. 7) by the roller 131. As a result, the rotating arm 100 is rotated via the sliding lever 98, and the eleventh gear 110 supported by the rotating arm 100 is moved to the gear portion 174 of the reel stand 172.
and large diameter gear part 1 of flywheel 162
It will be in a state where it does not mesh with 62L. On the other hand, in this state, the pin 109 of the rotating arm 101 is inserted into the recess 125 of the cam hole 125 of the head chassis 121.
5a, the twelfth gear 111 supported by the rotating arm 101 meshes with the gear portion 173 of the reel stand 171 and the large diameter gear portion 161L of the flywheel 161. As a result, the 17th
When the motor 40 begins to rotate counterclockwise at time T ₁₂ in the figure, this rotational driving force is applied to the belt 185 →
The signal is transmitted from the flywheel 161 to the twelfth gear 111 to the reel stand 171, and a quick return (REW) operation is performed.

(E) Operation of shifting from the A-side fast forward (FF) state to the A-side playback state (see timing chart in Figure 18).

In the fast forward (FF) state of side A, in order to end this fast forward state, the STOP operation switch 202 is operated (at time _T1 in FIG. 18), and after a predetermined time the motor 4 is turned off.
The rotation of the electromagnet 164 is stopped and the current supply to the electromagnet 164 is cut off (at time _T2 in FIG. 18).
After that, after a predetermined period of time (for example, 100mS) has passed,
Current is supplied to the motor 40, and the motor 40 rotates clockwise (at time _T3 in FIG. 18). Therefore, the tenth gear 68 rotates once and stops at time _T10 . During this period, at time T ₉ , the regeneration state detection switch 181 closes and the electromagnet 16
3,164 is supplied with current. Therefore, the roller 131 is moved by the rotation levers 90 and 91.
Movement in the direction of arrow X' is restricted, and the head chassis 121 is held at the playback position. For this reason,
When the motor 40 begins to rotate counterclockwise at time _T11 in FIG. 18, side A is reproduced.

(F) Operation of shifting from the A-side playback state to the B-side playback state (see timing chart in FIG. 19).

As shown in FIG. 19, when the program switching operation switch 205 is operated in the A-side playback state (at time _T1 in FIG. 19), the rotation of the motor 40 stops at time _T2 after a predetermined time. At the same time, the current supply to the electromagnets 163 and 164 is cut off. After that, for a predetermined period of time (e.g.
100 mS), current is supplied to the motor 40, and the motor 40 rotates clockwise (at time _T3 in FIG. 19). For this reason, the tenth gear 68
rotates approximately 180° clockwise and stops at T ₇ . During this period, the changeover switch 179 is switched at time _T5 , and the regeneration state detection switch 181 is closed at time _T6 , and current is supplied to the electromagnets 163 and 164. 10th gear 6 between T ₃ and _{T 7}
8 rotates approximately 180° from the state shown in FIG. 13A to the state shown in FIG. Driven in the right direction (Y' direction). Therefore, the idler gear plate 112 is driven counterclockwise,
The thirteenth gear 114 of the idler gear plate 112 meshes with the small diameter gear part 162S of the flywheel 162, and the fourteenth gear 115 meshes with the small diameter gear part 162S of the flywheel 162.
It meshes with the gear portion 173 of No. 1. For this reason, the first
When the motor 40 rotates counterclockwise at time T ₈ in Figure 9, its rotational driving force is transmitted from the belt 185 to the flywheel 162 to the 13th gear 114 to the 15th gear.
The magnetic tape is transmitted from the gear 116 to the 16th gear 117 to the 14th gear 115 to the reel stand 171, the magnetic tape is run, and side B is reproduced.

(G) Operation of shifting to the playback state of side B at the end of side A (see timing chart in Figure 20).

As shown in FIG. 20, in the reproduction state of side A, since the reel stands 171 and 172 are rotating, a rectangular signal is output from the light receiving element 192. This is the end of side A (20th
At _T1 in the figure), the reel stands 171 and 172 stop rotating, and the light receiving element 192 no longer outputs a rectangular signal. In the A-side playback state,
The timer of the control circuit is reset when the output of the light receiving element 192 falls, and the reel stand 17
1 stops rotating and the timer cannot be reset, the timer counts up.
When the timer counts up to a predetermined value, the current supply to the motor 40 is cut off, the rotation of the motor 40 is stopped, and the electromagnets 163 and 16 are stopped.
The current supply to 4 is cut off (T ₂ in Figure 20).
time). Therefore, the roller 131 whose movement in the direction of the arrow X' has been restricted by the rotary levers 90 and 91 moves in the direction of the arrow X' together with the head chassis 121 due to the biasing force of the spring 121S. Therefore, the reproduction state detection switch 181 is opened. After that, when a predetermined period of time has elapsed, current is supplied to the motor 40, and the motor 40
rotates in this clockwise direction (at time _T3 in Figure 20). Therefore, the tenth gear 68 moves clockwise.
Rotate 180° and stop at T ₇ . During this time, T ₃
At this point, the changeover switch 179 is switched, and
At the time _T6 , the regeneration state detection switch 181 is closed.
Electric current is supplied to electromagnets 163 and 164. Further, while the tenth gear 68 rotates 180 degrees clockwise, the sliding plate 144 slidably supported by the head chassis 121 moves around the pin 83 of the lever 81.
Because it is driven in the right direction (Y′ direction) by
The idler gear plate 112 is connected by a wire rod 147.
Driven counterclockwise, the 13th gear 114 meshes with the small diameter gear portion 162S of the flywheel 162, and the 14th gear 115 engages with the small diameter gear portion 162S of the flywheel 162.
It meshes with the gear part 173 of. As a result, when the motor 40 rotates counterclockwise at time T ₈ , this rotational driving force is transmitted from the belt 185 to the flywheel 162 to the 13th gear 114 to the 15th gear 116.
→ 16th gear 117 → 14th gear 115 → is transmitted to reel stand 171, and the B-side is brought into playback state.

(H) Stop the playback of side A or B and eject the cassette half (see timing chart in Figure 21).

When the EJECT operation switch 202 is operated in the A-side (or B-side) playback state (at time _T1 in FIG. 21), the rotation of the motor 40 stops after a predetermined period of time, and the electromagnets 163, 1
The current supply to 64 is cut off (see Figure 21).
_T2 time points). Therefore, the head chassis 121 moves in the direction of the arrow X', and the reproduction state detection switch 181 is opened. Further, since current is supplied to the plunger solenoid 53 at time _T2 , the mode clutch lever 48 is rotated counterclockwise, and the clutch lever 62 is rotated counterclockwise by the mode clutch lever 48. Therefore, the third gear 49 supported by the mode clutch lever 48 meshes with the first gear 42 fixed to the rotating shaft 41 of the motor 40.
Furthermore, the large diameter gear portion 63L of the eighth gear 63 supported by the clutch lever 62 and the second gear 43
The mesh is released. When a predetermined period of time (for example, 100 mS) has elapsed from time _T2 , the motor 40 begins to rotate counterclockwise (time _T3 in FIG. 21). Therefore, the rotational driving force of the motor 40 is
The signal is transmitted from the third gear 49 to the fourth gear 50 to the fifth gear 51 to the sixth gear 52 to the rack 22, and the carriage 21 moves in the direction of arrow Y.
As the carriage 21 moves in the direction of arrow Y, the cassette holding plate 35 rotates, and the link 8 rotates clockwise, so the lifter plates 30 and 31 move away from the board 1 (in the direction in which the lifter plates 30 and 31 are opened). (in the direction that reduces the leg angle). Therefore, the cassette half is moved away from the substrate 1. Therefore, at time _T4 in FIG. 21, the cassette detection switch 176 is opened (OFF). Thereafter, the cassette half is transported in the direction of arrow Y by the carriage 21,
At _T5 , the cassette insertion detection switch 15 is opened (OFF), and at _T6 , the ejection detection switch 16 is opened (OFF), cutting off the current supply to the motor 40, and further cutting off the current supply to the plunger solenoid 53. It is cut off and the eject operation ends.

Note that the other operations are operations that are partially different from each of the above operations, and since the details can be understood from the above operations, the details will be omitted.

Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, since the lifter is biased in the direction of opening its legs by the elastic body, the cassette half can be lowered with a small pressure force, and the cassette half is not deformed by the pressure force. It is something.
