摘要:
The invention provides a disk cartridge having an optical disk (2) stored therein. The disk cartridge comprises a cartridge main body (5) formed with a head opening (13) for rotatably storing an optical disk and causing a part of the optical disk to face outward over the inner and outer peripheries, and a shutter member (15) movably attached to the cartridge main body and adapted to open/close the head opening (13). A region in the surface of the cartridge main body on which the shutter member slides and which is disposed across the head opening from a region in which the shutter member moves is formed with a bottomed recess (31) continuous with the head opening to allow a part of the head on the recording and/or reproducing device to enter the bottomed recess (31).
摘要:
A disk cartridge having a cartridge body (5) for rotatably receiving an optical disk (2) and having an opening (13) for a head, where the opening enables portion, from its inner to outer peripheries, of the optical disk (2) to face outward, a shutter member (15) movably supported by the cartridge body (5) and opening and closing the opening (13), and a bidirectional urging mechanism (38) for selectively urging the shutter member (15) either to the position where the opening (13) is closed or to the position where the opening (13) is opened. The bidirectional urging mechanism (38) urges the shutter member (15) either to the direction to close the opening (13) or to the direction to open the opening (13) depending on the position of the shutter member (15) relative to the opening (13).
摘要:
The invention provides a disk cartridge having an optical disk (2) rotatably stored in a cartridge main body (5). One surface of the cartridge main body on its side for insertion in a recording and/or reproducing device is in the form of a substantially semicircular arc (7) with its center located at the center of the optical disk stored in the cartridge main body, making it possible to easily discriminate the direction of insertion in the recording and/or reproducing device, and realizing smooth mounting.
摘要:
A recording medium can judge types of various discs and the write enabled/disabled state. A detection hole of a cartridge has opening/closing means which forms a substantially horizontal plane with respect to a reference plane of the cartridge at the position of the detection hole when the detection hole is in the closed state. Moreover, the cartridge has at least a first and a second detection hole. The second detection hole (H1) is opened/closed by the aforementioned opening/closing means while the first detection hole (H0) is always kept in the open state. In a disc drive device or a disc judgment method, the disc type and the judgment information content (such as write enabled/disabled state) by the detection hole are judged according to the open/closed state of one or more detection holes formed on the cartridge and the disc type detection result obtained by using the signal based on the reflection light from the recording medium mounted.
