Abstract
A recording medium loading device includes a chassis, a movable unit for holding a recording medium, and a lock unit including a lock member and an operation member. The movable unit is movable between a housed position in which the movable unit is housed in the chassis and an ejected position to which the movable unit is ejected from the chassis. The lock member is movable between a locking position to lock the movable unit in the housed position and an unlocking position to unlock the movable unit. The operation member includes an operation part and an engaging part engaging the lock member. The operation part is manually operated to move the operation member so that the operation member moves the lock member from the locking position to the unlocking position by applying force to the lock member through the engaging part.
