Abstract
A disk ejection mechanism includes a tray on which a recording disk is held, the tray being arranged so that the tray is movable between an inserted position and a disk-change position in both an insert direction and an eject direction. A tray locking member locks the tray when the tray is at the inserted position. A tray pushing member pushes the tray in the eject direction by an actuating force, the tray being ejected by the tray pushing member when the tray is unlocked from the tray locking member. A slidably-arranged eject switch, associated with the tray locking member, unlocks the tray from the tray locking member when the eject switch is moved in a direction perpendicular to both the insert direction and the eject direction.
