ABSTRACT:
A cartridge loading/unloading mechanism for a microfloppy disk drive including a carrier to charge or discharge a floppy disk cartridge and a front panel to support the carrier movable upwardly and downwardly between an unloaded position and a loaded position. The front panel is utilized not only to form the opening for charging or discharging the cartridge but also to support the carrier to be movable upward and downward between the unloaded and loaded position by means of grooves on the opening formed on the sleeve portion thereof. Further, the front panel has a pair of elastic engaging clicks which engage with stoppers provided on the frame so as to realize one-touch engagement of the carrier with the frame by only pushing down the carrier.
