Patent attributes
It is an object of the present invention to provide a slot-in type disk apparatus in which a moving position of a disk is precisely guided when the disk is inserted or discharged, thereby preventing the disk from coming into contact with an objective lens and further reducing the thickness of the disk apparatus. In the slot-in type disk apparatus, a base body 10 and a lid constitute a chassis sheath, a disk-insertion opening 11 into which a disk is directly inserted is formed in a front surface of the chassis sheath, a traverse base 30 is disposed on the side of a front surface of the base body 10, a pickup 32 held by the traverse base 30 is disposed on an outer peripheral side of the base body 10, the pickup 32 is provided with an objective lens 32A and an ACT cover 32B, the traverse base 30 is provided with a traverse base 30 cover 32B, and a protection cover 32B is provided on an upper surface on the side of an outer periphery of the traverse base 30 cover 32B, the protection cover 32B also extends above the ACT cover 32B and is disposed closer to the disk-insertion opening 11 than the objective lens 32A.
