摘要:
The present invention provides a portable media player, such as a portable DVD player. The portable media player has a clamshell type design, including a base portion and an openable cover portion. The openable cover portion includes a display screen, such as an LCD display screen. The player may include a single-hinge stand attached to an outer surface of the base portion so that DVDs may be viewed with the player positioned to stand upright or partially upright. The player may alternatively or additionally include an optionally attachable dual hinge stand having a base including a battery.

An optical disc drive, including a main frame a tray disposed such that the tray is to be inserted into or ejected from the main frame to load or unload a disc and a tray holding unit to press bias the tray, when the loading/unloading of the tray is completed, so as to restrict the vertical and lateral movement of the tray when the loading/unloading of the tray is completed by holders (210,220) disposed on the inner surface of the main frame catching corresponding protrusions (110,120) on the tray.

A tray for mounting a cartridge incorporating a flat information recording medium includes sliders (2,6) sliding in a loading direction of the cartridge on a tray base in cooperation with the mounting action of the cartridge, and a slider moving mechanism for moving the slider between an initial position, and a plurality of stopping positions remote from the initial position by specific distances in the loading direction. The plurality of stopping positions are at least in two stopping positions, that is, a first stopping position remote from the initial position by a first distance in the loading direction, and a second stopping position remote from the initial position by a second distance longer than the first distance in the loading direction. Thereby, if a cartridge is mounted on a tray in a wrong direction, the user can easily recognize its wrong mounting.

A disk device is provided with a disk tray (20) having a detachable guide member (30), which guides an optical disk (2) between a depression and claws (24) provided thereon. When an optical disk is to be mounted within a disk device in the vertical orientation, the optical disk can automatically be guided between depression and claws by moving the disk along the guide member. In addition, because the guide member is detachable, it can be attached if the disk device is to be used in vertical orientation and removed if it is to be used in horizontal orientation.
摘要:
To minimize unwanted motion in a memory disk assembly (8) in a hard disk drive (6), an elastomeric support (11j or 11k, 11m) is employed to mount a hard disk pack (11) for rotation by a motor rotor (13) of a disk spindle motor (10). The hard disk pack (11) includes a memory disk support ring (11d) which has opposite annular axial faces upon which the memory disks are securely mounted and axially spaced thereby. An elastomeric connection (11j, 11k and 11m) between the memory disk support ring (11d) and a cylindrical body (13a) of the motor rotor (13) of the disk spindle motor (10), provides a soft, or compliant, support for the hard disk pack (11).
