DISK TRAY, DISK STORING APPARATUS AND DISK DRIVE

摘要

A disk tray adapted to hold a disk on which an information signal is recorded, and loadable in a disk-holding state in a disk drive. The disk tray is a thin plate having a disk-mounting recess formed in one side of the plate, having an inner diameter larger than the diameter of a recording and/or reproducing disk, having a depth larger than the thickness of the disk, and adapted to hold the disk detachably with a clearance retained in the direction parallel to the disk and in the direction of the thickness of the disk, a bottom opening extending from a substantially central portion of the bottom of the disk-mounting recess to one edge of the bottom along the center in the width direction and being open at the edge of the bottom, and a plurality of disk fall preventing members projecting from the outer circumference of the disk-mounting recess toward the center with a clearance into which at least the insertion of the disk can be done and which is retained between these disk fall preventing members and the bottom of the disk-mounting recess. <IMAGE>
