Thin flexible disk drive having a stopper for supporting a flexible disk at a rear surface thereof

摘要

A shutter driving mechanism has a disk shutter arm engaged with a corner portion of a shutter while a flexible disk is inserted in a thin flexible disk drive. The shutter driving mechanism drives the shutter so as to open the shutter by rotating the disk shutter arm. The shutter driving mechanism is rotatably mounted on a disk holder for holding the flexible disk. Integrally formed to the arm near a tip of the disk shutter arm, a stopper made of resin supports the flexible disk at a rear surface thereof so as to avoid crashing the flexible disk with a lower magnetic head on inserting/ejecting the flexible disk in/from the thin flexible disk drive. The stopper has a projection part projecting at a tip thereof upwards so that the projection part supports the flexible disk in line contact.
