ABSTRACT:
In a recording medium loading device which permits a package containing a recording medium to be loaded removably into the body of the device, the package has a guide groove extending linearly in a direction of insertion into the device body, a lock groove contiguous to the guide groove and formed in a concave shape in a direction intersecting the direction of insertion, and a stopper groove extending along the direction of insertion and in parallel with the guide groove. In a package loading area of the device body are provided a lock member adapted to engage the lock groove to lock the package at a loaded position, an urging member for urging the lock member in a direction of engagement with the lock groove, a stopper projection adapted to project into the stopper groove, an unlocking member for disengaging the lock member from the lock groove and causing the stopper projection to project into the stopper groove, and an eject member for pushing out the package in a disengaged state of the lock member from the lock groove. The package when moving in an ejecting direction is stopped at an intermediate position by engagement of the stopper projection with the stopper groove.
