Locking mechanism of disk device

A locking mechanism of a disk device for housing a tray inside a casing, which is provided in the tray for holding a disk to be an information recording medium and the casing for housing the tray to be capable of being inserted and ejected, comprising:

• a locking pin mounted on either one of members out of the casing or the tray;
• while comprising:
• on the other member out of the casing or the tray, a locking lever having a locking part on the tip to be engaged with the locking pin, which is supported to be capable of oscillating;
• an ejection lever supported to be capable of oscillating for pressing a prescribed part of the locking lever so as to oscillate the locking lever in such a direction that the locking part is detached from the locking pin;
• and a holding unit for holding a movable piece provided on one end of the ejection lever so as to set aside the ejection lever to such a position that the ejection lever does not press the locking lever;
• wherein
• a balance weight having a prescribed weight is provided on the opposite side to the center of the gravity of the ejection lever with respect to the oscillation center of the ejection lever.

• a holding unit for holding a movable piece provided on one end of the ejection lever so as to set aside the ejection lever to such a position that the ejection lever does not press the locking lever;
• and a reset lever being supported to be capable of oscillating while a part of which is being linked with the ejection lever, which comes to be in slide-contact with the locking pin due to a position shift generated between the tray and the casing by the inserting and ejecting action of the tray, and thereby receives pressuring force from the locking pin to oscillate the ejection lever so that the movable piece comes to be in contact with the holding unit, wherein
• a balance weight having a prescribed weight is provided on the opposite side to the center of the gravity of the reset lever with respect to the oscillation center of the reset lever.
