Description of the Related Art Recording media for storing data such as video and audio include films, videotapes, magnetic disks such as floppy disks, optical disks, memory cards and the like, which are stored in cassettes, cartridges or the like. Then, the recording / reproducing can be performed by being mounted on an electronic camera, a video camera, a recording / reproducing apparatus, or the like. A problem in the operation of these recording / reproducing devices is that if the recording medium is ejected during recording / writing, the recorded contents may be interrupted, resulting in incomplete recording or destruction. This is the point to come. Since such ejection during recording is often due to unintentional erroneous operation rather than intentionally, some measure has been required to prevent erroneous ejection of the recording medium during the recording operation. From such a point, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-108963, when the recording medium attached to the reading device is pulled out from the device, the reading of data is automatically stopped immediately before the electrical connection is turned off. However, since it is still possible to take out the recording medium from the device when the eject button is pressed during the writing operation, as a solution to the above problem, Is insufficient.

At the same time, when it is ON (when writing), the plunger 19 is retracted to rotate the locking mechanism 60 in the clockwise direction so that the claw 63 is locked in the recess 67 of the card. As a result, even if the eject means (not shown) is activated, it is impossible to remove the card until the writing is completed. In the case of a type in which a card or the like as a recording medium is stored in a drive of a device and then the mounting opening is closed by a cover, the cover may be locked in a closed state. In this case, for example, instead of the recording medium removing member, the cover is engaged with the operating mechanism 10 or the intermediate operating mechanism 30.
The recording medium that can be attached to and detached from the recording / reproducing device may be a magnetic disk such as a film, a video tape, or a floppy disk stored in a cassette in addition to a memory card.
There are optical disks, memory cards, and the like, and the above-described configuration of the present invention can be applied to an erroneous removal prevention mechanism for these.
