Abstract: The auto device mounting structure includes a sleeve-shaped bracket means adapted to receive an auto device and to be fixed to an instrument panel behind an aperture. The mounting structure comprises plural grooves formed in the outer case of the auto device which are elongated laterally and are spaced in the back and forth direction, and a slide plate having engagement claws slidably engageable with the grooves and fixture claws slidably and fixedly engageable with semi-sheltered cuts of the bracket means slide plate, which is conjoined with the auto device by engagement of the engagement claws with selected one of the grooves and fitted to the bracket means by engagement of the fixture claws with the semi-sheltered cuts, is slid laterally so as to fixedly engage the fixture claws with the semi-sheltered cuts, thereby mounting the auto device in the bracket means at a selectively inserted position with respect to the instrument panel.

Abstract: A magnetic tape reproducing apparatus is provided for reproducing magnetically recorded tape in a cartridge. The apparatus is provided with a casing dimensioned to receive the cartridge with its transverse or shorter end directed to and through the inlet portion of the casing, so that the apparatus is built compact particularly widthwise. The various operating components of the apparatus are contrived accordingly to this end.
