ABSTRACT:
An ejecting mechanism for a disk cartridge includes an eject lever having a proximal end disposed in a cartridge accommodating chamber, the eject lever extending diagonally toward a cartridge-inserting port of the accommodating chamber, urging device for imparting a swinging bias in a cartridge-ejecting direction, an input pinion meshing with a rack disposed slidably on the eject lever, a braking device for applying a brake to the eject lever when the eject lever is swung in a direction of pushing out the cartridge from the accommodating chamber, a one-way rotating clutch for transmitting the rotation of the input pinion to the braking device, and a guide groove formed in the accommodating chamber in a direction intersecting with the eject lever, a portion of the eject lever being slidably engaged in the guide groove via the rack, so as to cause the rack to slide in conjunction with the swinging motion of the eject lever.
