Disclosed herein is a recording medium drive apparatus adapted to use a recording medium cartridge. The recording medium drive apparatus includes a holder for holding the recording medium cartridge inserted, an eject lever supported to one of a pair of side plate portions of the holder so as to be movable in an inserting direction and ejecting direction of the recording medium cartridge with respect to the holder, and a biasing spring for biasing the eject lever in the ejecting direction. The eject lever has a supported portion supported to the one side plate portion of the holder and an engaging projection projecting from the supported portion toward the other side plate portion of the holder. When the recording medium cartridge is inserted into the holder, the engaging projection is inserted into an engagement groove of the recording medium cartridge and engaged with an engaging portion formed in the engagement groove. When the eject lever is moved in the ejecting direction by a biasing force of the biasing spring in the condition where the engaging projection is engaged with the engaging portion of the recording medium cartridge, the recording medium cartridge is ejected from the holder.

A recording/reproducing device using a magneto-optical disc as a recording medium having a holder for holding a magneto-optical disc and moving the magneto-optical disc between a disc unloading position and a disc loading position, a turntable for rotating the magneto-optical disc, an optical pickup for casting a light beam onto a signal recording surface of the magneto-optical disc, a magnetic head arranged to face the optical pickup on the opposite sides side of the magneto-optical disc and moving toward and away from the magneto-optical disc, and a rotating ejection lever positioned on a base for ejecting the magneto-optical disc held by the holder. Since the ejection lever is arranged on the side of the base where the optical pickup is arranged, the space within the device body is effectively used, thus realizing miniaturization.

An optical pickup unit, including: a base chassis; a disk table mounted to the base chassis for chucking an optical disk to be able to freely rotate; an optical pickup that records and/or reproduces an information signal with respect to the optical disk; a guide shaft supported by the base chassis, and guides the optical pickup to move in a diameter direction of the optical disk; and a pickup transfer mechanism including a lead screw supported parallel to the guide shaft and engaged with the optical pickup via a rack member, and a drive motor for rotate-driving the lead screw. In the optical pickup unit, the drive motor is disposed out of a projection area of, with respect to the base chassis, the optical disk chucked to the disk table.

A recording and/or playback apparatus using a disc cartridge that accommodates a recording medium such as an optical disc includes a holder, a recording and/or playback section, and a moving mechanism. The holder holds a recording medium that is inserted in the apparatus. When mounted with the recording medium that is held by the holder, the recording and/or playback section performs recording or playback on the recording medium. The moving mechanism moves the holder between a mounting position where to mount the recording medium on the recording and/or playback section and an dismounting position where to separate the recording medium from the recording and/or playback section. The moving mechanism has an urging member for urging the holder toward the recording and/or playback section when the recording medium is mounted onto the recording and/or playback section, and for urging the holder in such a direction that the holder goes away from the recording and/or playback section when the recording medium is separated from the recording and/or playback section.

A recording and/or reproducing apparatus includes a base member at least having a rotation driving mechanism for rotationally driving a disc housed in a disc cartridge, a holder into which is inserted the disc cartridge and an ejection lever formed by an elastically flexible lever. The holder is mounted for movement between a first position in which the disc inserted in the disc cartridge is loaded on the rotation driving mechanism and a second position in which the disc housed in the disc cartridge is spaced apart from the rotation driving mechanism. The second position is higher in level than the first position. The ejection lever is elastically flexed by the disc cartridge inserted into the holder from a position protruded into the holder to the position extending along the back side of the holder. When elastically flexed to the position extending along the back surface of the holder, the ejection lever is engaged with the holder moved to the first position. When the holder is moved from the first position to the second position, the ejection lever is disengaged from the holder and is elastically restored in the direction of being intruded into the holder to eject the disc cartridge from the holder.

The present invention relates to a rotary disk loading mechanism. A disk loading mechanism according to the present invention includes a recording medium holder which is rotatably supported by a chassis and into which a storage medium such as a mini disk (trademark) or the like is inserted, an eject lever as a rotation operation member disposed on one side of the recording medium holder and movably supported by the chassis, an operation converting means formed of a cam and so on for converting movement of the eject lever into rotation of the recording medium holder, a holder locking member rotatably provided on the chassis and biased by a first springy member, and an engagement portion provided on the eject lever and biased by a second springy member in a predetermined direction to thereby be engaged with the holder locking member. When the holder locking member is brought in contact with the storage medium to be inserted into the recording medium holder and thereby rotated against a spring force of the first springy member, a relief surface provided on one of the holder locking member and the engagement portion is brought in contact with the other thereof and release of engagement of the holder locking member and the engagement portion is started early as compared with release of the engagement prevented when no relief surface is provided. Thus, it is possible to provide a loading mechanism which improves operability upon insertion of the storage medium.
