The present invention provides a disk apparatus capable of obtaining
sufficient rigidity and preventing motion failure caused by deformation
of a chassis outer sheath even if material having low rigidity such as
aluminum alloy or magnesium alloy is used.A disk apparatus has a chassis
outer sheath comprising a base body 10 and a lid 130. A disk inserting
opening 11 into which a disk is directly inserted is disposed in a front
surface of the chassis outer sheath, a connector 12 is disposed on the
rear surface, the base body 10 is provided at its side with a discharging
lever 100 which discharges the disk, the base body 10 is provided at its
rear surface with a limiting lever 110 which limits the insertion of the
disk, a rear base 13 is provided at a location which is not superposed on
the traverse 30 and location covering a printed board 14, one of a lower
surface of the discharging lever 100 and an upper surface of the rear
base 13 is projected to form a discharging lever sliding surface 311 on
the rear base 13, one of a lower surface of the limiting lever 110 and
the upper surface of the rear base 13 is projected to form limiting lever
sliding surfaces 312 and 313 on the rear base 13, and openings are formed
in the rear base 13, opposite sides of the discharging lever sliding
surface 311 and opposite sides of the limiting lever sliding surfaces 312
and 313.
