Patent ID: 7461388

Claim:
An optical disk device comprising: a tray in which either a cartridge housing a disk or a bare disk can be selectively mounted, the device being configured such that by transporting the tray into the main body of the optical disk device, the bare disk mounted in the tray or the disk in the cartridge is made to be chucked by a turntable, and holding means for holding the bare disk or the cartridge at a predetermined position relative to a mounting face of the tray are provided in a front portion and a rear portion of the tray respectively in the transport direction of the tray; wherein at least one of the holding means includes: a holding member that is selectively movable along the mounting surface of the tray such that the holding member can move between a bare disk holding position for holding a bare disk, and a cartridge holding position for holding a cartridge, said holding member having: a bare disk guide face that in said bare disk holding position extends along a diameter determined relative to a center of said turntable that is larger than an outer diameter of the bare disk, the bare disk guide face being formed approximately perpendicular to the mounting face of the tray, and an inclined face that inclines upward and outward from a top edge portion of the bare disk guide face such that the inclined face will be contacted by a lower angular portion of an end of the cartridge when said holding member is in the bare disk holding position and an upper angular edge of an opposite end of the cartridge engages a guide face approximately perpendicular to the mounting face of the tray of at least one other of said holding means disposed substantially opposite to said holding member, and biasing means that biases the holding member toward the bare disk holding position.
