A cartridge device has a recording and reproducing unit for recording an
information signal on and/or reproducing an information signal from a
recording medium of a recording medium cartridge, the case having a
positioning hole. A chassis of the device has a base and a projection
projecting from the base toward a holder for being inserted in the
positioning hole. An ejection slider is slidably supported on the chassis
for sliding movement selectively in a first sliding direction to move the
holder from the first to second position and a second sliding direction,
which is opposite to the first sliding direction, to move the holder from
the second to first position. The projection has a recess defined
therein. The ejection slider has a portion insertable into the recess
when the election slider is moved in the first sliding direction.
