In a signal recording or reproduction device for disks, release means (10) for disengaging a lock slide (4) from a holder (2) when the holder (2) is pivotally moved upward from a lowered position has a release piece (11) slanting with respect to a plane containing a path of pivotal movement of the holder (2), attached at a base end thereof to a chassis (1) and deformable by deflecting outward. The release piece (11) extends from its base end along cartridge inserting and unloading directions. The release piece (11) escapes from the lock slide (4) by being deflected outward for deformation by contact with the lock slide (4) when the slide is moved with the descent of the holder (2), and restores itself elastically upon passage of the lock slide (4). The lock slide (4) as brought into contact with the lower end of the release piece (11) when the holder (2) is pivotally raised from the lowered position is disengaged from the holder (2) by being so deflected for deformation. <IMAGE> |
