A valve seat supporting annular stepped surface(14) is formed on an intake port outlet portion of a cylinder head (1), its inner peripheral edge is formed into a shape having an inner peripheral edge (4a) of a valve stem (4)for serving as a base circle, and a extending portion (15) projecting toward a side of a valve stem (11) is provided on a radial intake port inlet side portion. The extending portion (15) is formed into a mountain-like shape which widens from a top portion projecting toward the valve stem side to both peripheral sides and connects to the base circle at its foot ends; or into an arc-like shape; or into a trapezoidal shape.

Abstract: A cassette loading apparatus of the present invention is capable of loading a plurality of tape cassettes different in size from each other, while achieving the following effects. Tape damage or tape breakage when the lids of the tape cassette are opened/closed can be prevented. The opening height of a rear lid when the lids are opened can be maintained constant, and at the same time, a gap is not produced between the lids when the lids are closed, thereby preventing an increase of drop-outs due to the invasion of dust or the like into the gap. Damage of a rear lid opener or the rear lid when the lids are opened/closed can be prevented. These effects are accomplished by providing the tape cassettes with rear lids each having a laterally extending protruding portion and a bottom end located below the protruding portion. The cassette loading apparatus has the rear lid opener positioned and configured to advantageously abut against the protruding portion of the rear lid in order to open the rear lid.
