It is an object of the present invention to provide a disk storage apparatus which employs a rotary actuator mechanically excellent as compared with a linear-movement actuator and can employ, in a disk cartridge, a slidable shutter that easily prevents dusts from entering the disk cartridge, and a disk cartridge therefor.The disk storage apparatus includes a disk cartridge in which a disk-like storage medium is rotatably accommodated, an apparatus body onto which the disk cartridge is detachably loaded, a shutter opening and closing mechanism provided on the apparatus body for, in an interlocking operation with an operation of attaching and detaching the disk cartridge, opening and closing a shutter capable of opening and closing a head-positioning-mechanism insertion slot of the disk cartridge, and a rotary head-positioning mechanism provided on the apparatus body for inserting a head portion for recording and/or reproducing information on and/or from the disk-like storage medium through the head-positioning-mechanism insertion slot opened when the disk cartridge is loaded. The disk cartridge includes a slidable shutter for opening and closing the head-positioning-mechanism insertion slot by its sliding operation. The rotary head-positioning mechanism includes a rotation actuator for inserting the head unit into the disk cartridge through the head-positioning-mechanism insertion slot.According to the disk storage apparatus, it is possible to provide the disk storage apparatus which makes it difficult for the dusts to enter the disk cartridge and has a high reliability in the recording and/or reproduction.

A spindle motor using a hydraulic bearing is provided, wherein an R-face or C-face is formed on each of upper and lower edges of an outer periphery of a rotating disk portion rotatable integrally with a spindle, and the R-face or C-face is formed into a mirror-finished surface having a surface roughness of 0.3 s or less in Ra, preferably, 0.1 s or less in Ra. Alternatively, a recess may be formed in a portion, facing to each of the upper and lower edges of the outer periphery of the rotating disk portion, of an inner wall surface of the hydraulic bearing. Such a spindle motor provides a disk drive capable of suppressing a variation in rotational speed of the spindle motor caused by tilting of the spindle due to vibration and impact, thereby ensuring a stable recording or reproducing operation.

A disk storage apparatus has a magnetic head (8) that is completely retracted outside of a disk cartridge, except upon a reading/writing operation. The magnetic head (8) is inserted into the disk cartridge (16) only upon the reading/writing operation. The disk storage apparatus can completely retract a rotation actuator to an outside of a disk cartridge. The disk storage apparatus can be reliably and stably operated and has a reduced overall thickness.

A door operable in unison with a cartridge holder is provided at the entrance of the apparatus, whereby a movement amount of a cartridge holder (23) is set to be an amount made smaller than a thickness of a disk cartridge (1) and also to be an amount in which the disk cartridge (1) can be prevented from interfering with a spindle motor (3) when the disk cartridge (1) is loaded and unloaded. The thickness of the disk storage apparatus can be reduced, and hence the whole of the disk storage apparatus can be reduced in thickness.

A disk drive preventing entry of air containing dust into a cartridge when a rotation table enters from an opening formed in a bottom surface of the cartridge and makes a disk-shaped recording medium rotate includes a carrier in which a cartridge accommodating a hard disk is loaded, a rotation table which enters from a disk drive opening in the bottom surface of the cartridge, clamps and makes the disk rotate when the cartridge is loaded in the carrier, and a sealing member which is attached to the carrier and which is formed with a lip in press-contact with the bottom surface of the cartridge so as to surround the disk drive opening when the cartridge is loaded in the carrier. The sealing member includes through holes through which height positioning projections penetrate to attach the sealing member to the carrier.

To perform a high dustproof when a disk drive apparatus records and/or reproduces information signals on a disk shape recording medium, which is stored rotatably within a disk cartridge. The present invention provides a disk drive apparatus for recording and/or reproducing information signals on a disk shape recording medium, which is stored rotatably within a disk cartridge comprising a case having a cartridge storing space in which the disk cartridge is inserted, rotatably driving means for holding the disk shape recording medium, which is stored within the disk cartridge, which is inserted in the cartridge storing space and for rotatably driving the disk shape recording medium, shielding means for defining a shielded space by covering a surrounding area of the rotatably driving means for holding the disk shape recording medium and a filter for removing a dust or the like inside of the cartridge storing space. The shielded space and the cartridge storing space communicate each other via said filter.

In a removable disk storage apparatus, a reading/writing head can be stably and reliably moved so as to correspond to an information recording medium. A rotation supporting member for supporting the reading/writing head is formed of a rotary arm and an elastic supporting member fitted to a tip end portion of the rotary arm for supporting the reading/writing head. The rotary arm member is formed by bending it so that it should be dogleg-shaped. The elastic supporting body is fixed on a tip end portion of a bent portion thereof in the extended direction in which the elastic supporting body is bent. The rotary arm is inserted into a disk cartridge substantially straight with its tip end being faced to the disk cartridge, and then supported by a ramp on a center line thereof.
