Abstract:
A disk device comprising:a turn table with a disk placed thereon, and a driving arm for vertically swinging a movable frame, equipped with said turn table, between a clamping position where the disk placed on said turn table is integrated to said turn table and a clamping releasing position where the integrated state of the disk and said turn table is released, said driving arm including supporting shafts constituting swinging fulcrums, each said supporting shafts including an outer surface which is slidably received by a receiving surface of each of bearings attached to a cabinet, the receiving surface of each said bearing being divided into four divided segments including a first divided receiving surface constituted by the lower end face in a width direction of a beam of a gate which includes a pair of legs inwardly protruded from the cabinet and the beam extending between the upper ends of the legs, a second receiving surface formed in a shape orthogonal to the first divided receiving surface by extending the inner face of the one side leg of the gate, a third divided receiving surface oppositely provided apart from and in parallel to the second divided receiving surface, and a fourth divided receiving surface which extends in parallel to said first divided receiving surface in a direction going from said second divided receiving surface to said third divided receiving surface, said third divided receiving surface being formed by the side of a swelling convex piece which is protruded inwardly from the cabinet, the convex piece having a sloping guide surface which connects the inner wall of the cabinet to the terminal edge of the third divided receiving surface located at the apex of the convex piece, said first, second and fourth divided receiving surfaces including segments located more inward of said cabinet than the apex of said convex piece, and a space between the pair of legs of said gate being formed by an extracting trace of a mold, said entire convex piece and said entire fourth divided receiving surface overlooking the space in a direction of extracting the mold, said first divided receiving surface being formed longer than said fourth divided receiving surface, wherein said supporting shafts are formed in a circular shape in section, and wherein an outer surface of said supporting shafts includes an extraction stopping protrusion, wherein said extraction stopping protrusion is located at a position opposite to said beam in said space between the pair of legs of said gate, both when said driving arm has raised the movable frame to the clamping position and when said driving arm has lowered said movable frame to the clamping releasing position, wherein said supporting shafts having said extraction stopping protrusions and said driving arm are integrally molded of synthetic resin.
