Abstract

An operation changeover mechanism for a disk player or the like which is simple in construction, easy to assemble and inexpensive. An apparatus is provided having first and second members disposed substantially parallel to one another and which are movable relative to each other. A third member is disposed at least partly between the first and second members and is movable in the same direction as the first and second members. First and second recess portions are formed in the respective first and second members in opposite surface, the recess portions being arranged so as to be able to be moved into opposition with the first and second recess portions. A movable member is disposed in the opening portion, engageable with the first and second recess portions. Movement between the third member and either one of the first and second members is restricted in a predetermined direction.
