摘要

In a recording and reproducing device to be used with a disc cartridge, a cartridge holder receives the disc cartridge when it is inserted, and moves between an ejecting position and a load position. An eject lever supported by the cartridge holder is rotated when the leading edge of the disc cartridge is brought into contact with an end of the eject lever, and a spring member is provided in combination with the eject lever for urging the eject lever in a direction removing the disc cartridge out of the cartridge holder.
