Abstract
A recording and reproducing apparatus using a disk cartridge has a frame provided with angular holes each of which consists of a horizontal portion and a vertical portion. Rollers are disposed on the sides of the cartridge holder, and these rollers are moved vertically in the angular holes when a disk cartridge is inserted into the apparatus. The apparatus includes cam members having flat portions, inclined portions and intermediate edge portions. The apparatus further includes resilient members in resilient contact with the cam members for biasing the edge portions from the sides of the centers of the rollers toward the horizontal portions when the rollers are located in the vertical portions of the angular holes to allow the cartridge holder to be operatively connected with the apparatus.
