Abstract
A driving device includes a holder () movably carried by a chassis () and adapted for transporting a disc cartridge the holder holds between an insertion/ejection position and a loading position, and an ejection lever () for ejecting the disc cartridge from the holder (). The driving device also includes a slider () movable in a direction of inserting the disc cartridge into the holder () and in a direction of ejecting the disc cartridge from the holder. The slider causes the holder () to be moved to the loading position when the slider is moved in the disc cartridge inserting direction, while causing the holder () to be moved to the insertion/ejection position when the slider is moved in the disc cartridge ejecting direction. The driving device also includes a spring member () provided between the ejection lever () and the slider () for biasing the ejection lever () in a direction of ejecting the disc cartridge from the holder () and for biasing the slider () in the disc cartridge inserting direction.
