Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the number of parts by providing a pressing piece part which continues to depress the lock release button of a front cover till the front cover is opened to the degree, where lock of the front cover of a small- sized cassette does not function, at the time of inserting the small-sized cassette. CONSTITUTION:When a small-sized cassette 10 is inserted to a cassette insertion hole and is supported on a reception base 1 in a magnetic recording and repro ducing device main body, a cover opening lever 2 arranged on the reception base 1 lits a projection 21 provided in the magnetic recording and reproducing device main body, and the cover opening lever 2 and a pressing piece part 2b are simultaneously turned counterclockwise. At this time, a lick release button 10a of the front cover 10b of the small-sized cassette 10 is depressed by turning the pressing piece part 2b till the front cover 10b is opened to such degree that lock of the front cover 10b of the small-sized cassette 10 does not function. Thus, the small-sized cassette 10 is recorded and reproduced without a standard cassette size adapter by one magnetic recording and reproducing device as it is.
