Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the power consumption and to miniaturize the constitution of the device of a recording medium loading mechanism for sucking and holding the recording medium by reducing the load at the time of unloading operation. SOLUTION: A disk cartridge(DC) 120 is loaded on a chassis 1 in such a manner that the DC 120 is inserted to a cartridge holder(CH) 54 which is arranged so as to move apart from or nearer to the chassis 1, to operate this CH 54 for movement. When a control plate 55 movable in the direction of back and forth to the chasses 1 is positioned on the front side, the CH 54 is held at the position of the height apart from the chassis 1 by the energizing force of an extension coil 73. When the control plate 55 is operated for moving to the rear side, the CH 54 is moved backward together with the control plate 55, and after a control pin 65 abuts correspondingly agains an end edge part 14, it is operated for descending to the side of chassis 1 while getting a profiling pin 64 along a cam slit 68 inside. At this time, the coil spring 73 is expanded by the elastic displacement, thereby the elastic force is stored.
