Abstract
An ejecting mechanism for disk cartridges comprises an operating lever for moving a cartridge holder between a raised position where a disk cartridge is inserted in and ejected from the cartridge holder, and a lowered position where a disk within the inserted disk cartridge is mounted on and demounted from a turntable. A releasing lever is provided for unlocking the disk cartridge which has been locked by a locking lever, wherein when the cartridge holder with the disk cartridge is in its lowered position, the operating lever is pushed through a panel located in front of the ejecting mechanism to raise the cartridge holder. Just before the cartridge holder reaches its raised position, the releasing lever is driven to unlock the disk cartridge.
