Abstract
In a recording and playback apparatus for a disk cartridge, a loading lever is supported rotatably on a pair of sidewalls, and rotatable between a loading position which it takes when a disk cartridge is inserted into the apparatus and an ejecting position which it takes when the disk cartridge is ejected from the apparatus. A locking member is supported on one of the sidewalls rotatably into engagement with the loading lever to hold it in its ejecting position. A cam plate is also supported on the same sidewall reciprocally movably between its retracted position in which the loading lever is in its ejecting position and its advanced position in which the loading lever is in its loading position. The cam plate has an unlocking device which is engageable with the locking member to disengage it from the loading lever when the cam plate is moved to its advanced position. A locking spring is connected to the locking member for urging it into engagement with the loading lever. A tension spring is connected to the cam plate for urging it into its retracted position.
