Abstract:
1. A disk device, comprising: a disk unit that houses a disk-shaped information storage medium; a case that holds the disk unit; a bracket; a guide member that guides movement of the case relative to the bracket in inserting the case into and removing the case from the bracket; and a plurality of spring members that are provided on at least one of the bracket and the case, distributed in the direction of the relative movement, the spring members extending, in the direction of the relative movement, from base ends fixed to the one of the bracket and the case to free distal ends, the distal ends of the spring members facing and pressing against the other of the bracket and the case; and wherein the plurality of the spring members includes a first group, in which the distal ends of the spring members face a side panel of the other of the bracket and the case, and a second group, in which the distal ends of the spring members face a planar surface of the other of the bracket and the case that is orthogonal to the side panel of the other of the bracket and the case; wherein the first group includes a plurality of the spring members that face a first side panel of the other of the bracket and the case and a plurality of the spring members that face a second side panel that is on an opposite side of the planar surface from the first side panel; and wherein the disk device further comprises a projection on each of the first side panel and the second side panel, integral with the respective side panels and protruding toward and pressing against respective spring members when the case is mounted in the bracket.
