<p>Various configurations of cartridges for optical disks, particularly first-surface optical disks, are provided. Among the feature are a shutter having a tab which slides in a slot in the housing as the shutter member moves between a closed position and an open position, the slot being isolated from an interior of the disk so as to protect the disk from debris generated as the shutter member moves between the first and second positions. A slot in an edge of the housing, the slot being covered when the shutter member is in the first position and being uncovered when the shutter member is in the second position, the slot being for providing clearance for a blocking tab in a drawer mechanism so as to allow the cartridge assembly to be fully inserted into the drawer mechanism when the shutter member is in the second position. A reverse-lockout slot is formed in the trailing edge to prevent the cartridge assembly from being fully inserted, trailing-edge first, into a drawer mechanism.</p> |
