| 1. A disk apparatus comprising:
a stationary frame having an opening for inserting or ejecting a disk-shaped recording medium,
a disk guide which is rotatably provided in the proximity of said opening of said stationary frame, and which leads the insertion
and ejection of said disk-shaped recording medium, and
a floating unit which is held in a floating state through elastic component in said stationary frame, and which has a function
to perform recording and/or reproducing on said disk-shaped recording medium, wherein
said floating unit includes a disk-carrying member having a roller arm which rotates itself while pressing said disk-shaped
recording medium onto said disk guide, so as to carry said disk-shaped recording medium to a desired position, and
when the completion of the ejection of said disk-shaped recording medium is detected, a control slider is moved to allow a
projection formed on said control slider to contact a projection formed on said stationary frame, to thereby engage a part
of said roller arm with a part of said disk guide.
