<p>A front loading apparatus receives a memory cartridge wherein memory is accommodated. A tray having a space capable of insertion of the whole memory cartridge is installed. The rear end of the tray is supported by a shaft fixed to a frame so that the front end of the tray can rotate up and down. The tray is normally kept in a state that the front end thereof is pushed upward by a coil spring installed in the frame. In this state, the memory cartridge is inserted into the tray so that the whole thereof rests on the tray. Thereafter, the front end of the tray and thus the memory cartridge inserted therein is pushed downward, thereby a locking mechanism operates to lock the tray to the frame in the state that the cartridge is inserted. </p> |
