HEAD SUPPORT AND EJECT MECHANISM FOR RECORDING AND/OR PLAYBACK APPARATUS ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Head support apparatus for a recording and/or playback apparatus including a pivotable support member upon which the head is mounted. The support member is pivotally coupled to a pivot rod and pivots in a plane substantially normal to the movement of tape past the record and/or playback head with the pivotal movement of the support member controlled to selectively place the head in contact with the tape. In one embodiment, the tape is stored in a housing which is supported within the record- ing/playback apparatus, the tape and tape housing being loaded and unloaded with the assistance of a tray. A second support member adjacent the first-mentioned support member is pivotally coupled to the same pivot rod. A spring is coupled between the tray and the second support member to bias the tray toward a receiving position for receiving a tape housing and to bias the second support member toward the tray. A latching member on the second support member cooperates with a detent on the tray to releasably lock the tray in an operative position. An erase head is mounted on the second support member to be inserted into the tape housing when the tray is locked in its operative position. -i-
