The annular piece is disposed around the button and the holder further includes a spring portion. A force acting so that an upper side of the disc-shaped recording medium is pressed such that the recording medium is sunk is rendered competitive against a force acting so that the button is pushed upward via a second hinge by the spring portion. As a result, the button is prevented from being pushed over its toggle dead point and so that the disc-shaped recording medium is re-fixed to the annular piece by reduction and extinction of the external force.
