Optical disc apparatus

An optical disc apparatus comprising a configuration for rotating and displacing an eject arm member to load and unload an optical disc relative to an apparatus body, said optical disc apparatus comprising:

• a first base as an apparatus base;
• a second base displaceable relative to the first base within a plane substantially perpendicular to a plane of the first base, and making up a support portion of a unit mechanism section including an optical pickup;
• an eject arm member rotated and displaced around the rotation support point within a plane substantially parallel to the plane of the first base, in abutting contact with an outer peripheral surface of the optical disc, during the loading and unloading of the optical disc, and
• a cover member covering plane areas located on both sides of an optical pickup move area of the unit mechanism section, of the plane areas on the second base,
• the cover member including a plane part for covering the plane area on the eject arm side, of the both plane areas,
• the plane part having an end portion on the side of the disc insertion direction restrained on the first base side, and during the loading and unloading of the optical disc, abutting the eject arm member in the restrained state to support the eject arm member.
