ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An operation changing mechanism particularly useful for loading a tape cassette into a tape recording/reproducing apparatus, includes a motor, a driving roller selectively driven in one of two rotational directions by the motor; a swing roller rotated about a central axis thereof by the driving roller and also swung about an axis eccentric to the central axis in a direction determined by rotation of the driving roller, and having a first gear formed on a peripheral portion thereof; a regulating device for limiting the range of the swinging motion of the swing roller between first and second limiting positions; a changing roller having a second gear and a toothless portion formed on a peripheral portion thereof, the toothless portion having two ends which normally oppose the first gear when the swing roller is limited at the first and second limiting positions, respectively, and the first gear being driven by the motor to engage the second gear so as to cause rotation of the changing roller in one of two directions, and the changing roller further including a grooved cam formed thereon; an operation control device including an ejecting lever for performing a tape cassette ejecting or loading operation in response to rotation of the changing roller; and a locking device interacting with the grooved cam for locking the changing roller at one of two different predetermined rotational positions in response to rotation of the changing roller.
