    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a disk apparatus in which the driving mechanisms for the pulling-in lever and the discharging lever can be accommodated in limited spaces and the disk can be prevented from being damaged when the disk apparatus is abnormally operated. A base body 10 includes a pulling-in lever 80 which inserts a disk, a discharging lever 100 which discharges the disk, and a slider mechanism which turns the pulling-in lever 80 and the discharging lever 100. The slider mechanism includes a first cam groove in which a first pin of the pulling-in lever 80 slides, and a second cam groove in which a second pin of the discharging lever 100 slides. When the slider mechanism is operated, the first pin slides in the first cam groove, thereby turning the pulling-in lever 80. When the slider mechanism is operated, the second pin slides in the second cam groove, thereby turning the discharging lever 100.
