Abstract
A shutter opening device has a cartridge for containing a disk-like recording medium, a first arm and a second arm. The first arm is so provided as to be able to contact a shutter leading portion of the cartridge inserted in the device and to be pivotable with the insertion operation. The second arm is provided on the first arm. The second arm is kept engaged with an end face of the shutter in a direction parallel to the inserting direction while the first arm is being pivoted, and the shutter is opened by the pivotal movement of the first arm.
