ABSTRACT:
In an optical disk drive apparatus of a disk-exchangeable type, a locking mechanism is provided for locking a disk ejecting member of the disk loading mechanism. The locking mechanism includes an ejection arm which is connected to an ejection button and which is movable between an engaging position at which it is interlocked with an ejecting means and a disengaging position at which it is disconnected therefrom. A displacing member is operatively connected to the ejection arm and is movable between a locking position at which the ejection arm is kept at the disengaged position and a released position at which the ejection arm is kept at the engaging position. A controller is operative to keep the displacing member at the locking position when a spindle motor for rotating an optical recording medium enclosed in a disk cartridge is rotated and at the lock-releasing position when the spindle motor is stopped.
