Abstract
A recording and reproducing device records and reproduces signals in and from a disk cartridge having slots defined in lateral edges thereof and housing a magnetic disk, a magnetic head insertion hole, a shutter for opening and closing the magnetic head insertion hole, a shutter actuator projection slidably disposed in one of the grooves defined for actuating the shutter. The recording and reproducing device comprises a frame having a cartridge insertion hole for the insertion therein of the disk cartridge, opening and closing actuator projections held in resilient contact with the bottoms of the grooves, respectively, for actuating the shutter actuator projection in engagement therewith while the disk cartridge is inserted through the cartridge insertion hole into the frame, and stopper members disposed laterally of the opening and closing projections for preventing the latter from being laterally displaced beyond a distance smaller than the length of projection of the shutter actuator projection.
