ABSTRACT:
An eject mechanism of a recording and/or reproducing apparatus using a cartridge accommodating a recording medium, such as a disc cartridge, which includes a cartridge holder, an eject lever and a lock mechanism. The cartridge holder is attached to a base member so as to become rotatable between a first position and a second position lower than the first position. The cartridge holder loads and holds the cartridge inserted therein. The eject lever is attached to the cartridge holder so that it can be freely moved. The eject lever is engaged with the cartridge inserted into the cartridge holder and moved in unison with the inserted cartridge. The lock mechanism restricts the eject lever from moving in a disc cartridge eject direction under the condition that insertion of the cartridge into the cartridge holder is finished and releases a restricted movement of the eject lever in the disc cartridge eject direction when the cartridge holder is rotated from the second position to the first position.
