Patent ID: 7194750

Claim:
A recording/reproducing apparatus for recording and reproducing information, said recording/reproducing apparatus comprising: a first stabilizing member suppressing surface vibration of a recordable flexible disk being rotated in at least a vicinity of a recording/reproducing location by utilizing an aerodynamic effect; and a recording/reproducing part conducting a recording and/or reproducing process at a reverse side being opposite to an action surface of an aerodynamic effect, the action surface being a main surface of the recordable flexible disk, wherein a surface of the recordable flexible disk is divided into two regions by a first straight line being approached to a movement line for the recording/reproducing part to scan and passing a vicinity of a center of the recordable flexible disk, and a second stabilizing member is arranged in at least one of the two regions so that a counterforce of the surface of the recordable flexible disk is increased, in which the counterforce occurs when the first stabilizing member is influenced by occurring an aerodynamic action force on the surface of the recordable flexible disk at a location where the first stabilizing member is located.
