A disk drive including a tray on which a disk cartridge is mounted and is
loaded into and unloaded from a main body; a guide formed on the tray;
and an opening and closing member installed to be elastically connected
to the guide. The opening and closing member has a second gear that
rotates a rotating wheel by meshing with a first gear; and a first
protrusion formed on one end of a second gear and to temporarily rotate
the rotating wheel so that the first and second gears can mesh. The guide
pushes the first protrusion during loading/unloading of the tray so that
the first protrusion and the latch do not come in contact with each
other.
