A pair of carrier levers swinging within a plane parallel to a major surface of the disk are respectively provided with abutting members each abutting onto a peripheral edge section of the disk for enabling holding of the disk therewith in cooperation with each other. The abutting members are respectively provided with inclined surfaces respectively along which the disk can be moved in a direction perpendicular to the major surface of the disk when the carrier leaves swing to approach the peripheral edge sections of the disk or to leave left away from the disk.
