Abstract
A cartridge case having locking notches in both of its side faces is guided by guide rails when it is loaded into an information recording/reproducing apparatus. The cartridge case is locked in its prescribed loaded position by clampers which push the case from both sides thereof. Each clamper has a truncated-cone-shaped roller which is urged by a spring toward the center line of the apparatus and which pushes the insertion-side bottom edge of the locking notch.
