Claim:
A disc device comprising: a cabinet having a tray ejection/inserting opening; a disc tray being ejected from and inserted into the tray ejecting/inserting opening of the cabinet; and a tray cover being capable of opening and closing the tray ejecting/inserting opening of the cabinet, the tray cover being pushed out and opened from a closing position by the disc tray when the disc tray is ejected, wherein the tray cover is mounted to be opened and closed around a shaft of the widthwise direction of the tray cover at a bottom portion of the tray ejecting/inserting opening formed in a front of the cabinet, wherein the tray has an engaging unit at two substantially-symmetric positions with respect to a center position of the widthwise direction of the tray cover, wherein the engaging unit engages the disc tray with the tray cover at an opening position when the disc tray is inserted to thereby pull in and close the tray cover from an opening position and holds the disc tray and the tray cover engaged with each other when the disc tray is received in the cabinet to thereby prevent the tray cover from being opened, wherein the engaging unit comprises: a protrusion that is formed on the disc tray; and a hook that is formed on the tray cover and is engaged with the protrusion when the disc tray is received in the cabinet to thereby prevent the tray cover from being opened, and is separated from the protrusion when the disc tray is ejected to thereby be standby at a position where the hook is engaged with the protrusion when the disc tray is inserted.
