Abstract
A recording medium player apparatus comprises a housing having an insertion slot formed at its front surface for insertion of a recording medium. An open/close body, which includes an operation portion, is provided at the front surface to cover or not cover the insertion slot. The player apparatus further comprises first, second and third link members and an engagement/stopper link member. The first link member has one end pivotally mounted on the open/close body. The second link member has one end pivotally connected to the other end of the first link member. The third link member has one end pivotally connected to the other end of the second link member. The engagement/stopper link member has one end pivotally connected to the other end of the third link member and is pivotally mounted at a center portion thereof to the housing. Thus, the engagement/stopper link member is releasably locked on the open/close body when the body is in a closed position. Further, a motor-driven movable member is pivotally connected to the second link member.
