Disk cartridge and data medium having same

#1. Field of the Invention

#The present invention relates to a disk cartridge and data recording/reproducing medium having the same, and more particularly, to a disk cartridge that receives a disk for recording/reproducing a data by means of a pickup unit of swing-arm method and a data recording/reproducing medium.

#2. Description of the Background Art

#The accompanying drawings, which are included to provide a further understanding of the invention and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention and together with the description serve to explain the principles of the invention.

#In the drawings:

#FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a disk cartridge in accordance with the present invention;

#Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

#As shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, a disk cartridge includes: a disk housing 200 including a disk receiving unit 211 for rotatably receiving a disk 100 and an opening portion 221 formed at a portion corresponding to a hub 110 of the disk 100 and formed where a pickup unit 400 for recording/reproducing data to/from the disk 100 while being rotationally moved on the disk 100 moves; and a shutter 300 for opening and shutting the opening portion.

#The disk cartridge of the present invention is principally used for a data medium for recording/reproducing device having a pick unit which makes a rotational motion, rather than a linear reciprocal motion, to record/reproduce data on a recording surface of the received disk 100.
