Abstract
In a cartridge loading mechanism, a carrier is arranged on the upper side of a cartridge holder for storing a cartridge having a recording medium. A loading base is arranged on an upper side of this carrier. This cartridge holder and the carrier are attached to a swinging cam. Further, this swinging cam is swingably attached to the loading base. The cartridge holder is vertically moved in association with a horizontal movement of the carrier. The cartridge holder is reciprocated between an inserting/discharging position of the cartridge and a chucking position of a spindle motor. Thus, the body of a drive unit can be made thin while dustproof performance is secured.
