Abstract
In the conventionl magnetic recording/regenerating apparatus,loading/unloading of a cartridge has been manually carried out, thus requiring a large force (about 1.5 to 3 kgf) for these operations by a spring force of a leaf spring, and making it difficult to ensure loading of the cartridge in the magnetic recording/regenerating apparatus. In the magnetic recording/regenerating apparatus of the invention, the portion between one end side and the other side of the linking member is rotatably supported on the bottom plate of the enclosure, and the supporting point as a fulcrum, the distance between the fulcrum and an end connecting the second sliding member is made smaller than the distance between the fulcrum and the other end connecting the first sliding member.
