ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A horizontally extending support member is supported on a lift base which is vertically movable along a guide shaft. A holder case is mounted on the support member for temporally receiving a disk cartridge during transportation thereof. A movable member is provided on its opposite sides with a pair of engagement pawls which are engageable with corresponding engagement recesses formed on the opposite sides of a disk cartridge. The movable member is supported on the support member for horizontal movement toward and away from a stocker and a recording/reproducing unit. A pair of guide members each having a channel-shaped cross-sectional profile are mounted on the opposite sides of the holder case. The guide members are capable of receiving the engagement pawls of the movable member for movement thereof along the support member, and slidably engageable, upon reception of a cartridge into the holder case, with the opposite side edges of the cartridge for guiding its movement. When a cartridge is transported or inserted into the stocker or the recording/reproducing unit, the engagement pawls holding the cartridge are released during the inserting movement thereof. Accordingly, dust such as abraded, scraped or wearing materials, which would be otherwise generated during insertion of the cartridge, can be prevented, and smooth insertion of the cartridge is ensured. In addition, the time required for cartridge transportation can be reduced.
