Abstract
In a disk device, as a switching slider which is disposed on a drive base moves in a first direction, a roller bracket moves in a second direction and a transport roller moves toward a facing member. Then, a roller bracket serves as a restriction member and the drive base is restricted in a housing. Before the drive base is restricted, a regulation member which is provided on the switching slider abuts a regulation projection of the housing so as to regulate inadvertent upward movement of the drive base. Accordingly, a disk during an unloading operation can be guided to an insertion/ejection port in a reliable manner.
