Abstract:
1. An optical disc device comprising: a first optomechanical mechanism located under an optical disc insertable into the optical disc device to optically access a bottom surface of the optical disc; a second optomechanical mechanism located over the optical disc insertable into the optical disc device to optically access a top surface of the optical disc; and, a sled mechanism on which the first and the second optomechanical mechanisms are disposed such that movement of the sled mechanism results in both the first and the second optomechanical mechanism moving radially in relation to the optical disc, wherein the sled mechanism has a first end corresponding to where the optical disc is inserted into the optical disc device, and a second end opposite the first end, wherein the sled mechanism has a first side and a second side, the second side parallel to the first side, the first side and the second side perpendicular to the first end and the second end, wherein the sled mechanism has a top side and a bottom side, such that the first side and the second side are a right side and a left side perpendicular to the top side and the bottom side, and wherein the sled mechanism defines a notch disposed at a corner defined by the first side and the second end.
