Cartridge loading apparatus with retractable eject button

摘要

A recording/reproducing device has an eject button projectable from an opening in a frame for operating a cam for returning a cartridge holder from a loaded state to the state before loading through a disc cartridge insertion opening, the eject button and the disc cartridge insertion opening being disposed in parallel with each other in a frame. The eject button is not projected from the frame when the cartridge holder is in the state before loading, and it is projected from the frame when the cartridge holder assumes the loaded state. The insertion of the disc cartridge into the cartridge holder can be done smoothly.
