Abstract
A disk device is constituted such that a latch lever formed with a contact body and a latching body latches a slider and releases its latching action when a disk cartridge is inserted so that the disk cartridge is lowered and properly positioned. The latching body is formed with: a latching part for latching an engaging pawl of an engagement part of the slider; and a releasing part obliquely formed so as to separate the contact body from the end of the disk cartridge main body in response to the movement of the latching pawl in a latching releasing action.
